Reason I Sing

Black Woman Be the mule of the earth She been drinking muddy water But she know what she worth Any Woman Be the mule of the earth With a mind set on freedom Cause she know what she worth Great Mother Visits me in a dream Rise up child, you can lead themIf you follow the stream Hidden Railroads And grasses of green I been wading through the water Trusting freedom will ring Got my mind set on freedom That's the reason I sing I been wading through the water Trusting freedom will ring Feet tired, I can't make it alone Back weary, Keep me safe, Keep me strong I got good-hearted people, Helping me carry on Got my mind set on freedom That's the reason I sing I been wading through the water Trusting freedom will ring Got my mind set on freedom That's the reason I sing I been wading through the water Trusting freedom will ring
