Letra

You declare to see me dimly
Through a glass which will not shine
Though I stand before you boldly
Trim and rank and mocking time
You do own to hear me faintly
As I whisper out of range
While my drums beat out a message
And the rhythms never change
Equality and I will be free
Equality and I will be free
You announce my wings are wanted
That I fly from man to man
But if I'm just a shadow to you
Could you ever understand?
We have lived a painful history
We know a shameful past
But I keep on marching forward
And you keep on coming last
Equality and I will be free
Equality and I will be free
Take the blindness from your vision
Take the padding from your ears
And confess you've heard me crying
And admit you've seen my tears
Hear the tempo so compelling
Hear the blood throb in my veins
Yes, my drums are beaten nightly
And the rhythms never change
Equality and I will be free
Equality and I will be free
Written by: Dave Holland, Maya Angelou
