I don't know how my mother walked her trouble down
I don't know how my father stood his ground
I don't know how my people survive slavery
I do remember, that's why I believe.
I don't know how the rivers overflow their banks
I don't know how the snow falls and covers the ground
I don't know how the hurricane
sweeps through the land every now and then
Standing in a rainstorm, I believe.
I don't know how the angels woke me up this morning soon
I don't know how the blood still runs through my veins
I don't know how I rate to run another day
Standing in a rainstorm I believe.
My God calls to me in the morning dew
The Power of the Uni knows my name
Gave me a song to sing and sent me on my way
I raise my voice for justice I believe
