Ella's Song (feat. Raquel Rodriguez & Jessica Childress)

We who believe in freedom cannot rest We who believe in freedom cannot rest until it comes Until the killing of black men Black mother's sons Is as important as the killing of a white man White mother's sons We who believe in freedom cannot rest (Cannot rest) We who believe in freedom cannot rest until it comes The older I get the better I know that The secret of my going on Is when the reigns are in the hands of the young Who dare to run against the storm To me young people come first They have the courage where we fail And if I can shed some light As they carry us through the camp Struggling myself don't mean a whole lot I've come to realise That teaching others to stand up and fight's The only way my struggle survives I'm a woman who speaks in their voice And I must be heard At times I can be quite difficult I bow to no man's word We who believe in freedom cannot rest (Cannot rest) We who believe in freedom cannot rest until it comes Not needing to clutch for power Not needing the light just to shine on me I need to be just one in a number As we stand against tyranny We who believe in freedom cannot rest (Cannot rest) We who believe in freedom cannot rest until it comes We who believe in freedom cannot rest We who believe in freedom cannot rest until it comes
