FREEDOM SONG Lyrics

Oh Lord I'm standing in the need of prayer

I'm standing in the need of prayer

I'm standing in the need of prayer

I'm standing in the need of prayer

Oh Lord I'm standing in the need of prayer

I'm standing in the need of prayer

I'm standing in the need of prayer

I'm standing in the need of prayer

I, I, I, I, freedom song

I, I, I, I, freedom song

I, I, I, I, freedom song

Soon it will be over, freedom song

Tender little children running out to play

They don't think about the black or white

They're just glad that they can play

Black brother grows up to be somebody's lawyer

White one learns police brutality

Pulls over and kills that same damn brother

Tell me how can we live in a world, a world of mass confusion

To have a president commit a crime, then say it's not collusion

How can we ever know freedom among all these damn lies

Pandemics can't even stop a hateful generation without love in her eye

I, I, I, I, freedom song

I, I, I, I, freedom song

I, I, I, I, freedom song

Soon it will be over, freedom song

Will the pawns in the game, will we see another day

Government, world order, still we pray in Jesus name

Everybody want to be saved, but they can't be free

If I wrote a book about it, it would say we overcome

If I told the truth about it, it's on earth, it can't be done

Freedom song, kingdom come, God, I pray it will be done

Black brother, white brother, tell me how we overcome

With division in our eyes, Q onon steady, telling lies

If you told the truth about it, boo, that ain't even you

And the boyfriend that you're screwing is Black Haitian and Jew

Let it be alright, just you hang on in there

Freedom's got a new sound or so

I, I, I, I, freedom song

I, I, I, I, freedom song

See, I believe our people have a right to equal justice under the law

And that's whatever law, cause what's just is what's right

Claim it, you all

I, I, I, I, freedom song

I, I, I, I, freedom song

I, I, I, I, freedom song

Black brother, white brother, black brother, black brother, black brother

Freedom song, freedom song, freedom song

I, I, I, I, freedom song
