I been walkin' with my face turned to the sunWeight on my shoulders, bullet inmygunOh, I goteyes in the back of myhead just in case I have to runI do what I can when I can while I can for my peopleWhile the clouds roll back and the stars fill the night
That's when I'm gonna stand upTake my people with meTogether we are going to a brand new homeFar across the riverCan you hear freedom calling?Calling me to answerGonna keep on keepin' onI can feel it in my bones
Early in the mornin' before the sun begins to shineGonna start movin' towards that separating lineI'm wading through muddy waters, you know I got a made-up mindAnd I don't mind if I lose any blood on the way to salvationAnd I'll fight with the strength that I got until I die
So I'm gonna stand upTake my people with meTogether we are going to a brand new homeFar across the riverCan you hear freedom calling?Calling me to answerGonna keep on keepin' on
And I know what's around the bendMight be hard to face 'cause I'm aloneAnd I just might fail, but Lord knows I triedSure as stars fill up the sky
Stand upTake my people with meTogether we are going to a brand new homeFar across the riverCan you hear freedom calling?Calling me to answerGonna keep on keepin' on
I'm gonna stand upTake my people with meTogether we are going to a brand new homeFar across the riverDo you hear freedom calling?Calling me to answerGonna keep on keepin' on
I'm gonna stand upTake my people with meTogether we are going to a brand new homeFar across the riverI hear freedom calling?Calling me to answerGonna keep on keepin' onI can feel it in my bones
