My Sisters and Brothers (Live at French’s Camp, Piercy, CA, August 10, 1991)
[Verse 1]
I wanna say to my sisters and my brothers
Keep the faith
When the storm flies and the wind blows
Go on at a steady pace
When the battle is fought and the victory's won
We can all shout together, "We have overcome"
We'll talk to the Father and the Son
When we make it to the promised land
[Chorus]
If we walk together, little children
We don't ever have to worry
Through this world of trouble
We've gotta love one another
Let us take our fellow man by the hand
Try to help him to understand
We can all be together, forever and ever
When we make it to the promised land
[Verse 2]
Our Bible reads, Thou shalt not be afraid
Of the terror by night
Or the arrow that flies by day
Nor for the pestilence
That walketh in the darkness
Nor for the destruction
That waiteth in the noonday hour
[Chorus]
If we walk together, little children
We don't ever have to worry
Through this world of trouble
We've got to love one another
Let us take our fellow man by the hand
Try to help him to understand
We can all be together, forever and ever
When we make it to the promised land
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
This world is not our home
We are only passing through
Our trail is all made up
Way beyond the blue
Let us do the very best that we can
While we're travelin' through this land
We could all be together shaking a hand
When we make it to the promised land
[Outro]
When we make it to the promised land
Make it to the promised land
Make it to the promised land, children
Make it to the promised land
When we make it to the promised land
Make it to the promised land
We can all be together, forever and ever
When we make it to the promised land
We can all be together, forever and ever
When we make it to the promised land
