Deliverance Will Come

Emancipation, they say, will never come
Oh-oh, will never come

Man, I say, man is doomed to die
Dung in a babylon with war an' strife
Grief, and a terror, and the tongues of hate
This, I know, will soon abate

For I have seen the land of my father in my visions
From the hills of captivity's plains
Yes I, the seed of a righteous one
Will someday declare for I this land

For my brothers and my sisters
And my brethren in the yoke of oppression
For the child who only knows of hate and destruction

Deliverance will come-come-come
Deliverance will come
In a dis ya time it will come-come-come
Deliverance will come

No more visitation
Now I know where I man stand
Yeah, woah, yeah

For I have seen the land of my father in my visions, yeah
From the hills of captivity's plains
Yes I, the seed of a righteous one
Will someday declare, for I this land

The man called wise, they all laugh at me
My captivity an' bondage, all they can see
Emancipation, they say, will never come
Your destiny is in babylon

And not in beulah land, beulah land
But I know the weary, destitute and scorned, yeah
We can strength by oppression and dread reforms, yeah

But deliverance will come-come-come
Deliverance will come
In a dis ya time it will come-come-come
Deliverance will come, yeah

Jubilation, celebration, no more visitation
In a dis ya time, yeah
Jubilation, yeah
In a beulah land, yeah
In a beulah land, whoa
