Juneteenth Lyrics by Topher

2022

Intro:
Lift ev'ry voice and sing
'Til earth and heaven ring
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the listening skies
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea

Verse 1:
Let's take'em back down history
Why Juneteenth the day we celebrate victory
When the former slaves heard about their liberty
Won by Republicans, blacks in the infantry
54th Massachusetts, showed them they could do this
Doubted their resolve at Fort Wagner went and proved it
Fought within the Union in face of discrimination
For equality and all to be freed throughout the nation
Information of emancipation traveled slow
Confederates, they wouldn't let'em go
So General Granger gathered troops, hit the road
And headed west out to Texas to let the people know
With General Order Number 3, he announced they were free
Two years earlier in 1863
Yeah, that day became known as Jubilee
A federal holiday is what it grew to be

Hook:
Juneteenth, Juneteenth
I ain't mad at ya, gon' and do ya thing
I just wanted you to know why you celebrating
It ain't cause of Democrats
Juneteenth, Juneteenth
Might not be for the reason you think
Party switch is a myth
It never was swing
Now you understand, let us sing

Verse 2:
Here's something you might not knew
Slavery in the states still wasn't through
Kentucky, Delaware never seceded
The 13th amendment was passed to complete it
To show appreciation towards President Lincoln
James and John Johnson wrote the song you hear singing
A sound full of hope from the harmonies ringing
Not the separation that we all see that it's bringing
Cause of the NAACP
Made it all 'bout race and not unity
Black National anthem it never should be
But division what they wanna see
Look, the flag colors are red, white, and blue
This red, green, and black is not for me or you
So let's come together all races and hues
Lift ev'ry voice and rejoice in the truth

Hook:
Juneteenth, Juneteenth
I ain't mad at ya, gon' and do ya thing
I just wanted you to know why you celebrating
It ain't cause of Democrats
Juneteenth, Juneteenth
Might not be for the reason you think
Party switch is a myth
It never was swing
Now you understand, let us sing

Bridge:
Lift ev'ry voice and sing
'Til earth and heaven ring
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the listening skies
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea

Hook:
Juneteenth, Juneteenth
I ain't mad at ya, gon' and do ya thing
I just wanted you to know why you celebrating
It ain't cause of Democrats
Juneteenth, Juneteenth
Might not be for the reason you think
Party switch is a myth
It never was swing
Now you understand, let us sing
