Kim Weston - Wattstax: Highlights from the Soundtrack

Lift Every Voice and Sing

Sister Kim Weston
The Black National Anthem

Lift every voice and sing
'Til Earth and Heaven ring
Ring with the harmonies of liberty

Let our rejoicing rise
High as the listening skies
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea

Won't you sing it with me?
Everybody

Sing a song full of faith that the dark past has taught us
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us
Facing the rising sun
Of our new day begun
Let us march on till victory is won

Stony, the road we trod
Bitter, the chastening rod
Felt in the days we've hoped
When unborn had died

Yet with a steady beat
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place
On which our fathers sighed, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh

Let us march on till victory is won
Let us march on till victory is won, yeah
Let us march on till victory is won
Whoa, yeah
