We're a Winner (Live at Bitter End, NYC)

We're a winner

And never let anybody say

Boy, you can't make it

'Cause a feeble mind is in your way

No more tears do we cry

And we have finally dried our eyes

And we're movin' on up (Movin' on up)

Lord, have mercy, we're movin' on up now (We're movin' on up)

We're living proof in all's alert

That we're two from the good black earth

An we're a winner

And everybody knows it too

We'll just keep on pushin'

Like your leaders tell you to

At last that blessed day has come

And I don't care where you come from

We're all  movin' on up (Movin' on up)

Lord, have mercy, movin' on up (Movin' on up)

Movin' on up

Movin' on up

Lord, have mercy, we're movin' on up now (We're movin' on up)

I don't mind leavin' here

To show the world we have no fear

'Cause we're a winner

And everybody knows it too

We'll just keep on pushin'

Like your leaders tell you to

At last that blessed day has come

And I don't care where you come from

We're just go move on up

Movin' on up

Lord, have mercy, we're movin' on up now (We're movin' on up)

We're a winner

And never let anybody say

Boy, you can't make it

'Cause a feeble mind is in your way

No more tears do we cry

The black done dried his eyes

Movin' on up

Movin' on up

Lord, have mercy, we're movin' on up now (Movin' on up)

There will be no more Uncle Tom

At last that blessed day has come

And we're a winner

And everybody knows it too

We'll just keep on pushin'

Like Martin Luther told you to

And I don't mind even here

To show the world we have no fear

'Cause we're movin' on up

Movin' on up

Lord, have mercy, we're movin' on up (We're movin' on up)

So, people get ready

I've got good news for you

How we got over

Like we're all supposed to do

Let us all say, "Amen"

And together we clap our hands

'Cause we're movin' on up

Movin' on up

Lord, have mercy, movin' on up now (Movin' on up)
