Oh Ruby Jean, last night I dreamed [G] I was running
Somewhere [D] beyond the stars, I [Am] called out to you
And you [D] answered softly, you [C] are the [G]
children's [Gm] eyes
[A]
And [D] I'm the days gone by
Oh Ruby Jean, it doesn't seem like a [G] long, long time
Since we were [D] born again, into [Am] the dazzling light
Uniting black and white, you are [C] the rich [G]
brown [Gm] earth
[E]
And [D] I'm the flowers that grow
We'll [G] have children [D]
of [D] the kingdom
They won't [G] be torn by war, nor will they [C] kill or hate
[Eb] Or hesitate [D] to love justice
Oh Billie Lee, it's destiny
[E] that [G] we meet again
Here on [D] this earthly plane, I'll see all [Am] the world with you
You'll have [D] to help me through
You guard [C] the straight [G] and narrow [Gm] path, [A]
[D] I'm the wayfarer
Oh Billie Lee, we shall be free in [G] the years to come
To help build [D] the promised land
We'll go where [Am] the day springs run, [A]
forever [D] and live as one
He is [C] the object [G] of our [Gm] longing, [A]
[D] we're his creation
We'll [G] have children of [A] the kingdom
[D] They won't [G] be torn by war, nor will they [C] kill or hate
