(Lord they're on their way on their way)
Saw a man an angry man killed his brother with his own hands
Brother laid on the ground sinner man you'd better kneel down
He's on his way Lord on his way on his way Lord on his way
He's on his way Lord on his way oh oh Lord he's on his way (on his way)
So a girl a pretty girl disgusted with her next of world
And over those attractivity forever ends reality
She's on her way Lord...
Two young boys black and white each one thinks his world is right
Fighting for color of skin they'll never know which one will win
They're on their way Lord...
(Lord they're on their way on their way)
