While I Still Can

I will lift my hands (while I still can) – sing and clap my hands

Standing hand in hand – brothers and sisters – praying like a clergyman

Testify while I still can

Ain’t no guarantee we’ll always have the liberty

To be who we were called to be, so let’s not waste what’s free

It only takes one quick look around to see those who would drown the sound

And move our movement underground – believe me, they’re inbound

What’s your evidence of any permanent residents

among our band of aliens? Beware this arrogance

One quick second look to see what ground the devil took

It’s in the world’s best-selling book – the landlord is a crook

I will work while it is day – night comes to steal work away

Count my blessings one by one, starting with this rising sun
