Come on, come on

Come on, y'all now

Put your hands together

Na-na-na-na

Put your hands together

Everybody now

Put your hands together

Na-na-na-na

Let us pray



We've got to pray for all

The brothers under thine hand

Pray for all the sisters

That's doing the best she can

Let us pray that tomorrow

There'll be a better

Day to come, yeah



We got to put our forces together

Sing a song so loud, so fair

That the birds in the trees

Hum along with me

Sweet harmony



Then let it thunder

Let it lightning, let it rain

Let it rain, let it rain

'Cause we're gonna sing

Glory hallelujah so the

Whole wide world can hear



Come on, y'all, now

Put your hands together

Put your hands together

Put your hands together

And let us pray



We got to pray for all the people

Who are sleeping in the street

Pray for all the people

Who don't have enough to eat

Let us pray that tomorrow

There'll be a better day to come

Yeah, yeah, yeah



We got to put our forces together

Sing a song so loud, so fair

That the birds in the trees

Hum along with me

Sweet harmony



Then let it thunder

Let it lightning, let it rain

Let it rain, let it rain

'Cause we're gonna sing

Glory hallelujah so the

Whole wide world can hear



Come on, come on

Put your hands together

Put your hands together

Put your hands together

And let us pray



'Cause we're gonna sing sing

Glory, glory hallelujah

Right here, right now

I said we'll, we'll, we'll

We'll sing, singing

Glory, glory hallelujah
