Bound for Freedom Lyrics by Pat Humphries

Hands

0

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, from an inmate on death row
Mumia had the courage to expose the evil show
From the courtroom 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 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
