We've got some difficult days ahead But it really doesn't matter with me now Because i've been to the mountaintop And i don't mind Like anybody i would like to live A long life longevity has it's place But i'm not concerned about that now I just want to do God's will And he's allowed me to go up to the mountaintop And i've looked over And i've seen the promise land I may not get there with you But i want you to know tonight That we, as a people, will get to the promise land!
