Lyrics
Preacher man go tell me
Where his body lie
Sittin' down by the river, now child
Left him there to die
One by one we tumble
One by one we fall
If I had a solution, now honey, I would fix us all
'Cause I believe in a world
Where we all belong
And I'm so tired of seeing
Every good men gone
Take me to that river
Lay me by his side
Let the water wash me, clean me, honey
Man done stole my pride
I've seen the darkness
Lord knows, I've seen the light
Gonna call the Lord saying there's a difference
If you're black or white
'Cause I believe in a world where we all belong
And I'm so tired seeing every good men gone
They come back
They come back
They come back
