Freedom for the stallion
|
Freedom for the mare and her colt
|
Freedom for the baby child
|
Who has not grown old enough to vote.
|
Lord, have mercy, what you gonna do about the people who are praying to you?
|
They got men making laws that destroy other men,
|
They've made money "God"
|
It's a doggone sin,
|
Oh, Lord, you got to help us find the way.
|
|
Big ship's a-sailing, slaves all chained and bound,
|
Heading for a brand new land that some cat said he upped and found.
|
Lord, have mercy, what you gonna do about the people who are praying to you?
|
They got men making laws that destroy other men,
|
They've made money "God"
|
It's a doggone sin.
|
Oh, Lord, you got to help us find the way.
|
|
Some sing a sad song
|
Some got to moan the blues
|
Trying to make the best of a home
|
That the man didn't even get to choose
|
Lord, have mercy, how you gonna be with people like John and me
|
They've got men building fences to keep other men out
|
Ignore him if he whispers and kill him if he shouts
|
Oh, Lord, you got to help us find the way
|
Oh, Lord, you got to help them find the way
|
Oh, Lord, you got to help us find the way.
