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
