about

Originally performed by Gil Scott-Heron on his 1974 album Winter in America.

lyrics

Ain’t you been there
Ain’t you going
Can’t you taste your ideas growing
We are soldiers
Soldiers of a new day
Can’t you see it
Can’t you feel it
In your heart

Ain’t you been there
Ain’t you going
To a place where
Friendships flowing
We are brothers and sisters in the spirits
Can’t you see it
Can’t you feel it
In your heart

Ain’t you been there
Ain’t you going
Can you feel this
Love I’m showing
It’s got to be me and you
Me and you together
Can’t you see it
Can’t you feel it
In your heart
