To a distant foreign land

To make good for themselves

And the ones that are left back home

My letters can have you

And sure can explain heeds that to the pain

I say freedom

For the colors that's discriminated upon

Goes to bed early, tryna dream of a heaven bird

Hoping it's gonna play

Can't wait for the day he can truly say

Today is my day

For all the young minds that they led astray

I cry freedom

Bullies everywhere, today's the day

I cry freedom

For your book of rules that says

Getting rich is not my kind of business

I got things for you, my friend

I'm gonna fight it right to the end

I toil and toil even when my back hurts

I still feel the dream

Though sometimes I get weak

Still mine stepped up

And to fortify

I cry freedom

For all the principles my ancestors died for

I cry freedom, yes

Yeah, yeah, oh

For the little they give and take mine more

I cry freedom

Yeah, yeah

I cry freedom

For my little sisters, they turned to slaves

I cry freedom, yes

Yeah, yeah

For those who reach out and never had, sleep good

Freedom
