A Long Way To Go Lyrics by The Emotions

Rejoice

1977

I got my eyes on the summertime sky traveling a country mile
The time is here for winter rain singing a summer smile
(Singing a summer smile.)
I've been possessed and may have been blessed
If I can't be found, (If I can't be found)
You're gonna see the light in me
I'm gonna let it shine
Oh, oh, oh, oh
(Oh, sweet brother) Ohhhhhh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Sister, don't you know (Sister, don't you know, oh)
We've come a long way
We've got a long way to go
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. (Oh, sweet brother)
Sweet brother, don't you know (Sister, don't you know, oh)
We've come a long way
We've got a long way to go
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oooh, oooh, oooh
Been through the fire, down to the wire looking for my name
(Looking for my name)
Soared as high as a one-way sky all ending the same
(Ending the same)
Now I may feel a little more real, somehow I have found
(Somehow I have found)
The day is here to be someone
Spread it all around
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(Oh, sweet brother,) Sweet brother, uh
Sister, don't you know, (Sister don't you know, oh,)
Don't you know. (We've come a long way.)
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh. We've got a long way to go
We're gonna make it. (Oh, sweet brother)
Keep on trying. Keep on trying. (Sister, don't you know, oh)
We've come a long way
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh. I know we can make it
(Oh, sweet brother,) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Make to the top. (Sister, don't you know, oh)
(Sister, won't you try.) We've come a long way
We got a long way. We got a long way. (Oh, yeah. Ah.)
We've come a long way
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yes we were
We've come a long way
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yes we were
We've come a long way
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yes we were
We've come a long way
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yes we were
We
We've come a long way. Never give up
Oh, yeah, ah. We have come a long way
We have come a long way
Keep on trying. We have come a long way
We have come a long way
Uhhhhh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
You know that we've come a long way
Never give up
We've come a long way. (Uh, huh)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yes we were
We've got a long way to go, a little bit more
Just a little bit, just a little bit more, yeah
Oh, oh, oh. Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
