We've been down in the valley much too long.
We've been down in a poverty oh so long, yeah.
We've been down in captivity much to long.
We've been down in humillity oh so long.
But we're gonna rise and shine!
And win our liberation,
For now is the time
When all nations must be free.
So rise and shine!
Restore your strength and power,
Waste no more time,
Remember your history.
We've been down in a sufferation much too long.
We've been down in humilliation oh so long, yeah.
We've been down in a condemnation much to long.
We've been down in a segregation oh so long.
So rise and shine!
As the morning sun that surrounds you,
It's international morality time,
Where mankind must be born anew.
So, rise and shine!
For the sake of the younger generations,
Putting hearts and minds,
To brotherhood and unity.
We've been down in the valley much too long.
We've been down in a poverty oh so long, yeah.
We've been down in captivity much to long.
We've been down in humillity oh so long.
We've been down in a sufferation much too long.
We've been down in a tribulation oh so long, yeah.
We've been down in a condemnation much to long.
And we've been down in a segregation oh so long.
We've been down in the valley much too long.
We've been down in a poverty oh so long, yeah.
We've been down in captivity much to long.
We've been down in humillity oh so long.
