Freedom

by Nicole C. Mullen

Ain't got no halo, no wings to fly away I've got to labor, for many many days I'm on a journey, I'm looking for a place To rest by burdens, far from this tyranny From the shores of Africa Up to the doors of America With voices to heaven praying for liberty We cry freedom (freedom, freedom, freedom) We marched in 'Bama We marched in Tennesee Brown men and white men Stood for equality We kept our chin up We kept our dignity And our proclamation Let everbody sing From the shores of Africa Up to the doors of America With voices to heaven praying for liberty We cry freedom (freedom, freedom, freedom)
