Lyrics The Staple Singers – The Challenge

Your man sound took it, ‘ginia ceasar
He has made up the world a neighborhood
But now, say I dare you, yes I do
To make a better brotherhood

That’s why I challenge you today, I challenge you today
I challenge you, bridge the gap between us

You’ve cured the uncurable (Ooh, child child)
I heard about you transplantin’ hearts today (Ooh, child child)
But I dare you to show me one heart (Ooh, child child)
That you’ve tried to cure of hate
You’ve broke into the unknown, yeah (Ooh, child child)
At an unimaginable speed (Ooh, child child)
But I dare you to probe into the lives (Ooh, child child)
Of the people in poverty

I challenge you today, I challenge you today
I challenge you to bridge the gap between us
Ooh, I challenge you today, I challenge you today
I challenge you to bridge the gap between us
With what you can do

You’ve broke into the unknown
Oh yes you have (Ooh, ooh)
At an unimaginable speed (Ooh, ooh)
But I dare you to probe into the lives, yeah (Ooh, ooh)
Of the people in poverty, I dare you to do it (Ooh, ooh)
Dare you to do it (Bet you can’t do it)
Challengin’ you (Don’t believe if you do)

Bet you won’t do it (Bet you can’t do it)
Tell me dare to try it (Bet you can’t do it)
Oh yeah (Bet you can’t do it)
