Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Whisper, listen, whisper, listen
Whisper, say we're free
Rumors flyin', must be lyin', can it really be?
Can't conceive it, can't believe it
But that's what they say
Slave no longer, slave no longer
This is Freedom Day
[Refrain]
Freedom Day, it's Freedom Day
Throw those shackle and chains away
Everybody that I see
Says it's really true, we're free
[Verse 2]
Whisper, listen, whisper, listen
Whispers say we're free
Rumors flyin', must be lyin', can it really be?
Can't conceive it, don't believe it
But that's what they say
Slave no longer, slave no longer
This is Freedom Day
[Refrain]
Freedom Day, it's Freedom Day
Throw those shackle and chains away
Everybody that I see
Says it's really true, we're free
[Outro]
Freedom Day, it's Freedom Day
Free to vote and earn my pay
Dim my path and hide the way
But we've made it Freedom Day
