He was walking with your brother on the streets of Alabama

He was marching next to Martin when he died

Working face to face in Cuba and Managua Nicaragua

He did not yet beat the devil, but he tried



Chorus:

Hold on brother, Jesse Jackson

There's a better world a'coming

Where a man can hope a man will show some heart

You just keep right on believing

In the better side of human

They ain't ready for it yet, but it's a start

And you move'em when you hit'em in the heart



We must bring it all together we must start right from the bottom

Back to helping one another when we can

'Cause if he's hungry and he's human and he's fighting for his Freedom

Then he shouldn't be too hard to understand



Chorus:

Hold on brother, Jesse Jackson

There's a better world a'coming

Where a man can hope a man will show some heart

You just keep right on believing

In the better side of human

They ain't ready for you yet, but it's a start

And you move'em when you hit'em in the heart



Chorus:

Hold on brother, Jesse Jackson

There's a better world a'coming

Where a man can hope a man will show some heart

You just keep right on believing

In the better side of human

They ain't ready for you yet, but it's a start

And you move'em when you hit'em in the heart
