Mme-ah, mmm-hmm
Mme-ah, mmm-hmm
Mme-ah, mmm-hmm
Mme-ah, mmm-hmm
I've been (mme-ah) walking (mmm-hmm)
(Mme-ah) with my face turned (mmm-hmm) to the sun
Mme-ah, mmm-hmm
Mme-ah, mmm-hmm
Weight (mme-ah) on my shoulder (mmm-hmm)
(Mme-ah) a bullet (mmm-hmm) in my gun
Mme-ah, mmm-hmm
(Mme-ah, mmm-) oh I got (-hmm)
Eyes in the (mme-ah) back of my head (mmm-hmm)
(Mme-ah) just in case (mmm-hmm) I have to run
Mme-ah, mmm-hmm
Mme-ah, mmm-hmm
I do (mmge-) what I can (ah) when I can
(Mmm-hmm) while I can for my people (mme-ah)
When the skies roll back and the stars fill the night
That's when I'm gonna stand up
Take my people with me
Together we are going
To a brand new home
Far across the river
Can you hear freedom calling?
Calling me to answer
I'm gonna keep on keeping on
I can feel it (oh-oh) in my bones
Mme-ah, mmm-hmm
Mme-ah, mmm-hmm
Mme-ah, mmm-hmm
Mme-ah, mmm-hmm
(Mme) early in the morning (ah, mmm-hmm)
(Mme-ah) before the sun (mmm-hmm) begins to shine
Mme-ah, mmm-hmm
Mme-ah, mmm-hmm
We're gonna (mme-ah, mmm-hmm) oh-oh, oh
(Mme-ah) towards the sepa- (mmm-hmm) -rating line
Mme-ah, mmm-hmm
Mme-ah, mmm-hmm
I'm wading through muddy waters
You know I've got a made up mind
Got a made up mind
And I don't mind (mme-) if I lose any (-ah) blood
On the way (mmm-hmm) to salvation (mme-ah)
And I'll fight with the strength that I got until I die
That's when I'm gonna stand up
Take my people with me
Together we are going
To a brand new home
Far across the river
Can you hear freedom calling?
Calling me to answer
I'm gonna keep on keepin' on
And I know
What's around the bend
Might be hard
To face 'cause I'm alone
And I just might fail
But the 'Lord' knows I'll try
Sure as stars (uh) fill (uh) up (uh) the (uh) sky (uh, uh, uh)
Stand up
Take my people with me
Together we are going
To a brand new home
Far across the river
Can you hear freedom calling?
Calling me to answer
I'm gonna keep on keepin' on
I'm gonna stand up
Take my people with me
Together we are going
To a brand new home
Far across the river
Do you hear freedom calling?
Calling me to answer
I'm gonna keep on keepin' on
I'm gonna stand up
Take my people with me
Together we are going
To a brand new home
Far across the river
I hear freedom calling
Calling me to answer
I'm gonna keep on keepin' on
I can feel it in my bones
I go to prepare a place for you
I go to prepare a place for you
I go to prepare a place for you
I go to prepare a place for you
I go to prepare a place for you
