Even though this is done as a piano solo, I want to mention that the lyrics
are by James Weldon Johnson. The composer Rosamond Johnson (1873-1954) was
the younger brother of activist and poet James Weldon Johnson (1871-1938).
The two worked together on causes related to the NAACP.  Thought maybe this
might fit in with election day. I sent the words by separate email if you'd
like to read them.
