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
[Chorus: x 4]
From the shores of Africa
Up to the doors of America
With voices to [C7]heaven praying for [Dm7]liberty
We cry freedom (freedom, freedom, freedom)
We marched in 'Bama
We marched in Tennesee
Brown men and [Bm]white men
Stood for [Dm7]equality
We kept our chin up
We kept our dignity
And our proclamation
Let everbody sing
[Chorus]
Up on [C7]Golgotha, hanging upon [C7]a tɾee
They say the God-man, died for [Dm7]my [A]liberty
He heard me crying, from my [A]captivity
And so he came down, down to [C7]deliver me
Woah woah woah woah
[Chorus]
Our hearts cry freedom
My heart cries freedom
Your heart cries freedom
His heart cries freedom
Woo
