By & By
Mississippi told me
Don't lament in the sun
Pretend to love your neighbors
And register your guns
Did we forget how far we've come?
And why do we keep on insisting
To beat a broken drum?
Stitch the skin across my eyes
Sing hallelujah by and by
I'd rather fall than watch you fly
Sing hallelujah by and by
Mississippi hold me
Keep me safe from the shame
Sing me songs of hallelujah
With the hatred in your veins
Did we forget the price he paid?
And why do we keep on resisting
The laws in which he
Stitch the skin across my eyes
Make me deaf to all their cries
Make them wish they weren't alive
Until their deviance subsides
Oh Mississippi I
I clench my fists and toe the line
I stitch the skin across my eyes
Sing hallelujah by and by
I'd rather fall than watch you fly
Sing hallelujah by and by
Stitch the skin across my eyes
Sing hallelujah by and by
I'd rather fall than watch you fly
Sing hallelujah by and by
Stitch the skin across my eyes
Sing hallelujah by and by
I'd rather fall than watch you fly
Sing hallelujah by and by
Sing hallelujah by and by
Sing hallelujah by and by
Sing hallelujah by and by (sing hallelujah by and by)
Sing hallelujah by and by (sing hallelujah by and by)
Sing hallelujah by and by
Don't lament in the sun
Pretend to love your neighbors
And register your guns
Did we forget how far we've come?
And why do we keep on insisting
To beat a broken drum?
Stitch the skin across my eyes
Sing hallelujah by and by
I'd rather fall than watch you fly
Sing hallelujah by and by
Mississippi hold me
Keep me safe from the shame
Sing me songs of hallelujah
With the hatred in your veins
Did we forget the price he paid?
And why do we keep on resisting
The laws in which he
Stitch the skin across my eyes
Make me deaf to all their cries
Make them wish they weren't alive
Until their deviance subsides
Oh Mississippi I
I clench my fists and toe the line
I stitch the skin across my eyes
Sing hallelujah by and by
I'd rather fall than watch you fly
Sing hallelujah by and by
Stitch the skin across my eyes
Sing hallelujah by and by
I'd rather fall than watch you fly
Sing hallelujah by and by
Stitch the skin across my eyes
Sing hallelujah by and by
I'd rather fall than watch you fly
Sing hallelujah by and by
Sing hallelujah by and by
Sing hallelujah by and by
Sing hallelujah by and by (sing hallelujah by and by)
Sing hallelujah by and by (sing hallelujah by and by)
Sing hallelujah by and by
