or one can struggle fearfully against the River -
and the River just flows.

and the River just flows.

and the River just flows. There is nothing to do - and the River flows.

There is nothing to feel - and the River flows.

We've got some difficult days ahead.
But it doesn't matter with me now.
Because I've been to the mountaintop.

I would like to live a long life.
Longevity has its place.
But I'm not concerned about that now.
I just want to do God's will.
And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain.
And I've looked over.
And I've seen the promised land.
I may not get there with you.
But I want you to know tonight, that we,
as a people, will get to the promised land.
