We shall live to see

We shall live to see,
So it is writ,
We shall live to see,
The day that's been promised,
The day that's been ordained,
The day when mountains of oppression,
Will blow away like wisps of cotton;
Whe the earth will dance
Beneath the feet of the once enslaved;
And heavens shall shake with thunder
Over the heads of tyrants;
And the idols in the House of God
Will be thrown out;
We, the rejects of the earth,
Will be raised to a place of honor.
All crowns shall be tossed in the air,
All thrones shall be smashed
And God's word will prevail,
He who is both present and absent
He who is beheld and is the beholder.
And truth shall ring in every ear,
Truth which is you and I,
We, the people will rule the earth
Which means you, which mean I
