I been walkin'

with my face turned to the sun

Weight on my shoulders

A bullet in my gun

Oh I got eyes

in the back of my head

Just in case I have to run

do what I can when I can

while can for my people

While clouds roll back

and stars fill the night

That's when I'm gonna

stand up

Take my people with me

Together we are going

to a brand new home

Far across the river

Can you hear freedom calling

Calling me to answer

Gonna keep on keepin' on

I feel it in my bones

Early in the mornin'

fore the sun begins to shine

start movin'

towards that separating line

I'm wadin' through

muddy waters

You know I got a made up mind

And I don't mind if I lose

any blood on the way

salvation

And I'll fight with strength

that I got until I die

So I'm gonna stand up

Take my people with me

Together we are going

to a brand new home

Far across the river

Can you hear freedom calling

Calling me to answer

Gonna keep on keepin' on

And I know

what's around the bend

Might be hard

face 'cos I'm alone

And I just might fail

But Lord knows I tried

Sure as stars fill up the sky

Stand up

Take my people with me

gether we are going

to a brand new home

Far across the river

Can you hear freedom calling

Calling me to answer

Gonna keep on keepin' on

I'm gonna stand up

Take my people with me

gether we are going

to a brand new home

Far across the river

Do you hear freedom calling

Calling me to answer

Gonna keep on keepin' on

I'm gonna stand up

Take my people with me

gether we are going

to a brand new home

Far across the river

I hear freedom calling

Calling me to answer

Gonna keep on keepin' on

I can feel it in my bones

I go

to prepare a place for you

I go

to prepare a place for you

I go

to prepare a place for you

I go

to prepare a place for you
