This brought tears to my eyes. Not just for Mr. John R. Lewis. I had this song performed at my Mother’s funeral in 2012.

This was my Big Mama’s favorite song. I’ve observed that older Black people of a certain age and tradition truly treasure this song. It’s powerful.

Amen. I agree. What a beautiful rendition and an appropriate honest statement in song. This was my friend, Mike Shorts’ motto. He slipped away into eternity in 1992. Rest In Peace.
