Until the swords turn into ploughshares Until the children eat their fill Until the mansions admit the lowly We have no cause for standing still. Oh when the voices of conscience calling Land not to prison but freedom's road We'll see the false gods around us falling It's then we'll harvest the seed we sowed Oh when the voices of women singing Are heard of houses of might and power We'll hear the rafters around us ringing We'll see the glimpse of the finsest hour. When the blood of black brothers flowing Makes us weep tears for everyone When the hatred's no longer glowing We'll know our new world has just begun So keep your eyes on the far horizon The price is seeking is shining there Oh it's a long haul but it's a strong call That leads us onward to open air. We have no cause for standing still We have no cause for standing still
