​Good morning
Lets go and seize the day
Because its one I know we’ve never seen before
I know the times where in is feeling more than strange
But theres a lot of things to still be grateful for
Lets make a good situation
From the one we have and bridge the gap thats standing in the way
a little more imagination to remove the bad
And see the magic shining through the haze

Cos we’ve all had our fair share
Never did we think that this could be
Stuck in the middle like your going no where
If you feel that you agree
then wont you come with me

So lets go and find that place
Look for a future filled with brighter days
Just give it up now with no delay
Its where you need to be
Come and go with me

La la la la
Lets escape
La la la la
Lets escape

I know your patience is wearing thin
And defeat is knocking at the door
But you just Hold your ground now
And don’t you give in
Cos the battle there to win is yours

Set your mind and spirit free
Lay your troubles down and just take five
Just pull away its what you need
Oh and spend a little time
come and go with me

So lets go and find that place
Look for a future filled with brighter days
Just give it up now with no delay
Its where you need to be
Come and go with me

La la la la
Lets escape
La la la la
Lets escape

And oh I see it in your eyes
Its essential
That you get away from all the crowds
Oh get rid of the disguise
Do it now, do it now

Oh get up and get out of your stay of mind
Oh get up you gotta do it now
Oh get up and get out of your stay of mind
Oh get up you gotta do it now

So lets go and find that place
Look for a future filled with brighter days
Just give it up now with no delay
Its where you need to be
Come and go with me

La la la la
Lets escape
La la la la
Lets escape

​Lifetime's highly anticipated gospel biopic Robin Roberts Presents: Mahalia, will premiere Saturday, April 3 at 8:00pm ET/PT. An impressive list of Broadway stars including Tony® nominee Joaquina Kalukango (Slave Play), Jason Dirden (Fences), Olivia Washington(The Butler) and Rob Demery (Lovecraft Country) join the film which is directed by Tony® Award-winner Kenny Leon and stars Tony Award nominee, SAG and Grammy® Award winning actress Danielle Brooks (Orange is the New Black) as the gospel legend and civil rights trailblazer.

​In the movie, Dirden stars as Russell Roberts, the dashing, music-loving Reverend who falls for Mahalia when they first meet in the late 1940s while Kalukango takes on the role of Mildred, Mahalia’s talented and opinionated, long-time pianist. Washington portrays Estelle, a piano teacher Mahalia meets at church who goes on to become her life-long friend and Demery stars as the influential civil rights leader.
 
Born in New Orleans, Mahalia Jackson began singing at an early age and went on to become one of the most revered gospel figures in U.S. history, melding her music with the civil rights movement. Her recording of the song “Move on Up a Little Higher” sold millions of copies, skyrocketing her to international fame and gave her the opportunity to perform at diverse settings including in front of a racially integrated audience at the prestigious Carnegie Hall and at John F. Kennedy's inaugural ball. An active supporter of the Civil Rights Movement, Jackson sang at numerous rallies, including the March on Washington in 1963 alongside Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., in hopes that her music would encourage and inspire racial equality.  

​From Rock’n Robin Productions and Lincoln Square Productions, Mahalia is executive produced by Robin Roberts and Linda Berman. Danielle Brooks and Kenny Leon are co-executive producers. Leon directs from a script written by Bettina Gilois and Todd Kreidler.
