Black people can struggle because they truly believe that one day they will be taken out of their misery. And they express it in song: After ’while, after ’while, Some sweet day after ’while, I'm goin’ up to see my Jesus, O some sweet day after ’while. Pray on! Pray on! Some sweet day after ’while, Prayin’ time will soon be over, O some sweet day after ’while.
