I wont be told anymore
That Ive been brought down in this storm
And left so far out from the shore
But I cant find my way back, my way anymore
Oh no, I wont be told anymore
That Ive been brought down in this storm
And left so far out from the shore
Oh, that I cant find my way back, my way anymore, no
Oh, I, I
Forgive them that tear down my soul
And bless them that they might grow old
And free them so that they may know
That its never too late
For the many times what seemed like a memory
Ive searched and found the ways you used to lure me in
Oh, Ive found the ways, oh why it had to be
Mired in denial and so afraid
If we ever find its true
That we have the strength to choose
Oh, free of all the chains, we have to together
Im gonna tell you a story
Stand up for righteousness
Eh, what? Stand up for justice
Eh, what? Stand up for truth
How can a person grow up with all this around them?
You gotta call on that something
Where does it come from?
That can make a way out of no way
All this hatred
What weve got here is
That power that can make a way out of no way
Failure to communicate
I tell you, Ive seen the lightning flash
Ive heard the thunder roar
Everybodys actin like we can do anything and it dont matter what we do
Maybe we gotta be extra careful because maybe it matters more than we even know
Sometimes
Hatred isnt something youre born with
I feel discouraged
It gets taught
Sometimes I feel discouraged
I felt this fear
He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone
No, never alone
No, never alone
Lets get somethin straight, alright
He promised never to leave me
This whole thing is fucked up
Never to leave me alone
Well, all men betray, all lose heart
I dont wanna lose heart! I wanna believe!
Black men and white men together at the table of brotherhood
I have a dream
Free at last, free at last
Thank god almighty, we are free at last
Oh, I wont be told anymore, if we ever find its true
That Ive been brought down in this storm
That we have the strength to choose
And left so far out from the shore
Oh, freed of all the chains
That I cant find my way back, my way anymore
Oh no, I wont be told anymore, if we ever find its true
That Ive been brought down in this storm
That we have the strength to choose
And left so far out from the shore
Oh, freed of all the chains
That I cant find my way back, my way anymore
We held together
