Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lift every voice and sing
Till earth and heaven ring
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the listening skies
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea
[Verse 2]
Now I'm gonna sing a song
Full of the faith that the dark past has taught us
Said I'm gonna sing, sing a song
Full of the hope that the present has brought us
I'm gonna sing, sing a song, yeah
I'm gonna lift my voice and I'm gonna sing
Sing a song, yeah
I'm gonna lift my voice and I'm gonna sing
[Verse 3]
Sing a song
Full of the faith that the dark past has taught us
I'm gonna sing, sing a song
Full of the hope that the present has brought us
[Verse 4]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm gonna sing, shout, all of the above
And no matter what, remember so everybody love
To every person 'cause situations can worsen
But every day I keep learning, so I'ma do it for certain
I just wanna spread a positive message
And show the people not to count your problems, count out your blessings
'Cause we all learning lessons about this thing called life
And if we all come together, it's gon' be alright
There's no reason to stress and don't you give up the fight
Yeah, I know there's sometimes you want to cry all night
But this works for everybody, I know that for sure
I know we got potential up in this world I adore
There's a whole lotta love but it should be even more
There's a whole lotta love but it should be even more
So, let us start sing on the count of four
1, 2, 3, 4
[Verse 5]
Now I'm gonna sing a song, yeah
I'm gonna lift my voice and I'm gonna sing
Sing a song, yeah
I'm gonna lift my voice and I'm gonna sing
[Verse 6]
Sing a song
Full of the faith that the dark past has taught us
I'm gonna sing, sing a song
Full of the hope that the present has brought us
Facing the rising sun
Of our new day begun
Let us march on till victory is won
