Jesse Jackson Lyrics - 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 coming 

Where a man can hope a man will show some heart 

You just keep right on believing 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 from the bottom 

Back to helping one another when we can 

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

Then he shouldn't be too hard to understand 

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

Where a man can hope a man will show some heart 

You just keep right on believing in the better side of human 

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

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