I've seen the red sun in the autumn
|
And I've seen the leaves turn to golden brown
|
I've seen the red sun in the autumn
|
And I've seen the leaves returning to golden brown
|
I've seen the red blood of my people
|
Heard them calling for freedom everywhere
|
If you've seen the red blood of your people
|
All you've got to do it
|
Reach out your hand and we'll take you there
|
Red stands for liberation
|
Red
|
|
I see the blackness of winter
|
I see death lurking in the trees
|
Yeah, I see the blackness of winter
|
And I see death lurking in the trees
|
I see the blackness of my people
|
You know they're calling for freedom everywhere
|
I've seen the blackness of my people
|
And all you got to do,
|
Brothers and sisters, reach out your hands,
|
We're gonna take you there
|
Black stands for liberation, yeah, aah
|
|
I've seen the green buds in the springtime
|
And somebody told me that means new life
|
I've seen the green buds in the springtime
|
Comin' up through the concrete
|
Somebody told me they symbolize new life
|
I've seen the green fields of my homeland
|
And I've heard people calling for freedom everywhere
|
It seems to me like if you've seen the green fields of your homeland
|
Even when you dream it, you can reach out your mind
|
And someone will take you there, cause
|
Green stands for liberation
|
Green
|
|
There are three colors on our flag now, brother
|
One red, one black, and there's one green
|
There are three colors on our flag now, sister
|
Can you tell your babies what they mean?
|
I'm talking a¢æ?bout red and the black and green
|
Want you to keep on thinking a¢æ?bout red and the black and green
|
I'm gonna keep on singin' a¢æ?bout red and the black and green
|
And sooner than you think the whole world's gonna know just what we mean
|
When we say they stand for liberation
|
They stand for liberation
|
|
Talkin' bout red
|
Yes, and black
|
We're talkin' bout green
|
It's more than a dream if you dig what we mean
|
|
It stands for liberation
|
It stands for a brand new nation
|
It stands for liberation
|
It stands for a brand new nation
|
Yeah
|
