I'm so glad I'm up off my knees, now
And I'm so glad I made up my mind I've got to be free, now
Talkin' 'bout
No more takin' second best
I'm in pursuit of happiness
And I just can't settle for nothin' less, now,
See if you can git to that
I'm screamin'
I'm so glad I'm up on my feet now
My brothers
I'm so glad I found that life could be so doggone sweet
I want the whole wide world to understand
That it's easy to walk hand in hand
Just call a mule a mule and a man a man, now,
See if you can git to that

Refrain:
Oh, how pretty
Summer,winter, spring and fall can be
Just have pity
And keep things bright so we all can see

Listen, brothers
*I'm so glad I'm up on my feet now
Let's climb down off each others backs,my brothers
And cut out all the whinin'
Talkin' 'bout you are you, and I am me
Since long ago, as in history
Somebody's been fighting to be free, now
See if you can git to that

Refrain:

Oh, how pretty
Summer,winter,spring and fall can be
Just have some pity
And keep things bright so we all can see

Listen, brothers,
**Let's be glad the sun keeps a shinin'
Let's climb down off each others backs, my brothers
And cut out all the whinin'
Talkin, 'bout you are you, and I am me
Since long ago, as in history
Somebody's been fighting to be free, now
See if you can git to that

(note: He may be saying "Is in history","As in history",or "As is history. I couldn't really hear clearly. Also,suggestion: "**" may be the lyric to use when actually performed instead of "*". Keeps things rhyming.)
