In Montgomery and in Selma and the streets of Birmingham The people sent a message to the leaders of the land We have fought and we have suffered but we know the wrong from right We are family, we are neighbors, we are black and we are white Here I go bound for freedom, may my truth take the lead Not the preacher, not the congress, not the millionaire, but me I will organize for justice. I will raise my voice in song And our children will be free to lead the world and carry on From a cell in Pennsylvania, no longer on death row Mumia had the courage to expose the evil show From the court room to the board room in the television’s glare How the greedy live off poor and hungry people everywhere Here I go bound for freedom, may my truth take the lead Not the preacher, not the congress, not the millionaire, but me I will organize for justice. I will raise my voice in song And our children will be free to lead the world and carry on Here I go though I’m standing on my own I remember those before me and I know I’m not alone I will organize for justice. I will raise my voice in song And our children will be free to lead the world and carry on From the streets of New York City ‘cross the oceans and beyond People from all nations create a common bond With our conscience as our weapon, we are witness to the fall We are simple, we are brilliant We are one and we are all Here I go bound for freedom, may my truth take the lead Not the preacher, not the congress, not the millionaire, but me I will organize for justice. I will raise my voice in song And our children will be free to lead the world and carry on Here I go though I’m standing on my own I remember those before me and I know I’m not alone I will organize for justice. I will raise my voice in song And our children will be free to lead the world and carry on
