Ain't got no halo, no wings to fly away
|
I've got to labor, for many many days
|
I'm on a journey, I'm looking for a place
|
To rest by burdens, far from this tyranny
|
|
[Chorus: x4]
|
From the shores of Africa
|
Up to the doors of America
|
With voices to heaven praying for liberty
|
We cry freedom (freedom, freedom, freedom)
|
|
We marched in 'Bama
|
We marched in Tennesee
|
Brown men and white men
|
Stood for equality
|
We kept our chin up
|
We kept our dignity
|
And our proclamation
|
Let everbody sing
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Up on Golgotha, hanging upon a tree
|
They say the God-man, died for my liberty
|
He heard me crying, from my captivity
|
And so he came down, down to deliver me
|
Woah woah woah woah
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Our hearts cry freedom
|
My heart cries freedom
|
Your heart cries freedom
|
His heart cries freedom
|
Woo
|
