LET US WALK
By Ruby
Dedicated to Mrs. Louretta Wimberly
Praise the Angels
Cause here I stand
Praise the People
Cause here I am
My soul is ready
My heart is pure
Let us walk.
So our freedom is sure
Praise the Children
For their laughter and light
Praise the Elders
For their wisdom and insight
My eyes are teary
My feet are weary
But, still
Let us walk.
So the Lord will see us clearly
Praise the Women
For bringing us here
Praise the Men
For following them anywhere
My ears are listening’
My arms are strong
So let us walk.
How long, not long.
This bridge is made of iron and steel
But we need justice in order to heal
So, mighty people
Let us walk.
For Freedom
For Love
For Justice
For Equality
Oh, Lord
On this sunny day
Will you guide us on?
Will you show us the way?
We will walk for those who have passed
And those who are alive
Everyone will have justice
Everyone shall thrive
Let us gather together
And sing for our rights
So we no longer have to endure these unequal nights.
Children of this Earth
Let us be reborn into soceity
Not one race, but a variety.
Praise the ground beneath my feet
Praise the blessed words we speak
Oh, all mighty
Let us walk.
Oh, all mighty
Let us walk.
Praise the Angels
Cause here I stand
Praise the People
Cause here I am
My soul is ready
My heart is pure
Let us walk.
So our freedom is sure
Praise the Children
For their laughter and light
Praise the Elders
For their wisdom and insight
My eyes are teary
My feet are weary
But, still
Let us walk.
So the Lord will see us clearly
Praise the Women
For bringing us here
Praise the Men
For following them anywhere
My ears are listening’
My arms are strong
So let us walk.
How long, not long.
This bridge is made of iron and steel
But we need justice in order to heal
So, mighty people
Let us walk.
For Freedom
For Love
For Justice
For Equality
Oh, Lord

Praise the ground beneath my feet
Praise the blessed words we speak
Oh, all mighty

Oh, all mighty
Let us walk.
