Ella's Song

We who believe in freedom cannot rest
We who believe in freedom cannot rest... until it comes!

We who believe in freedom cannot rest
(We who believe in freedom cannot rest)
We who believe in freedom cannot rest... until it comes!
(We who believe in freedom cannot rest)

Until the killing of black men, black mother's sons
Is as important as the killing of white men, white mother's sons

We who believe in freedom cannot rest
(We who believe in freedom cannot rest)
We who believe in freedom cannot rest... until it comes!
(We who believe in freedom cannot rest)

Not needing to clutch for power
Not needing the light just to shine on me
I need to just one in the number
As we stand against tyranny

To me young people come first!
They have the courage where we fail
If I can just shine a light on as they carry us through the gale

We who believe in freedom cannot rest
(We who believe in freedom cannot rest)
We who believe in freedom cannot rest... until it comes!
(We who believe in freedom cannot rest)

I'm a woman who speaks in a voice and I must be heard!
At times I can be quite difficult
I'll bow to no man's word!

We who believe in freedom cannot rest
(We who believe in freedom cannot rest)
We who believe in freedom cannot rest... until it comes!
(We who believe in freedom cannot rest)

We who believe in freedom cannot rest
(We who believe in freedom cannot rest)
We who believe in freedom cannot rest... until it comes!
(We who believe in freedom cannot rest)

We who believe (in freedom)
We cannot rest!
(We cannot rest!)

We who believe (in freedom)
We cannot rest!
(We cannot rest!)
We who believe (in freedom)
We cannot rest!
(We cannot rest!)

We who believe (in freedom)
We cannot rest!
(We cannot rest!)

We who believe (in freedom)
We cannot rest!
(We cannot rest!)

We who believe (in freedom)
We cannot rest!
(We cannot rest!)

We who believe (in freedom)
We cannot rest!
(We cannot rest!)

We who believe (in freedom)
We cannot rest!
(We cannot rest!)

We who believe (in freedom)
We cannot rest!
(We WILL NOT rest!)

We who believe (in freedom)
We cannot rest!
(We WILL NOT rest!)

We who believe (in freedom)
We cannot rest!
(We WILL NOT rest!)

We who believe (in freedom)
We cannot rest!
(We WILL NOT rest!)

We who believe in freedom cannot rest
(We who believe in freedom cannot rest)
We who believe in freedom cannot rest... until it comes!

(We who believe in freedom cannot rest)
We who believe in freedom cannot rest
(We who believe in freedom cannot rest)

We who believe in freedom cannot rest until it comes!
