Jesse Jackson

(Kris Kristofferson)



He was walking with your brother on the streets of Alabama

He was marching next to Martin when he died

Working face to face in Cuba and Managua Nicaragua

He did not yet beat the devil but he tried.



Hold on brother Jesse Jackson, there's a better world a comin'

Where a man can hope a man will show some heart

You just keep right on believin' in the better side of human

They ain't ready for it yet but it's a start.



And you move 'em when you hit 'em in the heart.



We must bring it all together we must start right at the bottom

Back to helpin' one another when we can

Cause if he's hungry and he's human and he's fightin' for his freedom

Then he shouldn't be too hard to understand.



Hold on brother Jesse Jackson, there's a better world a comin'

Where a man can hope a man will show some heart

You just keep right on believin' in the better side of human

They ain't ready for it yet but it's a start.



And you move 'em when you hit 'em in the heart.
