[Intro]
Emancipation, they say, will never come
Oh-oh, will never come

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
For my brothers and my sisters
And my brethren in the yoke of oppression
For the child who only knows of hate and destruction

[Chorus]
Deliverance will come-come-come
Deliverance will come
In a dis ya time it will come-come-come
Deliverance will come
[Bridge]
No more visitation
Now I know where I man stand
Yeah, woah, yeah

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Pre-Chorus 2]
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

[Chorus]
But deliverance will come-come-come
Deliverance will come
In a dis ya time it will come-come-come
Deliverance will come, yeah
[Outro]
Jubilation, celebration, no more visitation
In a dis ya time, yeah
Jubilation, yeah
In a Beulah land, yeah
In a Beulah Land, whoa
