Tracy Chapman - Crossroads

Freedom Now

Throwed him in jail and they kept him there
Hoping soon he'd die
That his body and spirit would waste away
And soon after that his mind

But every day is born a fool
One who thinks that he can rule
One who says tomorrow's mine
One who wakes one day to find
The prison doors open, the shackles broken
And chaos in the street

Everybody sing we're free, free, free, free
Everybody sing we're free, free, free, free
Everybody sing we're free, free, free, free

Oh, they throwed him in jail and they kept him there
Hoping his memory'd die
That the people forget how he once led
And fought for justice in their lives

But every day is born a man
Who hates what he can't understand
Who thinks the answer is to kill
Who thinks his actions are god's will

And he thinks he's free, free, free, free
Yes, he thinks he's free, free, free, free
Oh, he thinks he's free, free, free, free

Soon must come the day
Oh, when the righteous have their way
Unjustly tried are free
Oh, and people live in peace, I say
Give the man release
Oh, go on and set your conscience free
Right the wrongs you made
Oh, even a fool can have his day

Let us all be free, free, free, free
Let us all be free, free, free, free
Let us all be free, free, free, free

Free our bodies, free our minds
Free our hearts
Freedom for everyone
Freedom now
Oh, freedom now
Freedom now
Freedom now

Let us all be free, free, free, free
Let us all be free, free, free, free
Let us all be free, free, free, free

Let us all be free
Let us all be
Let us all be free
Let us all be
Let us all be free
