Judy Small until

Select language to translate this lyric

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
