Mm -eh -ah, mm -mm -mm
Mm -eh -ah, mm -mm -mm
Mm -eh -ah, mm -mm -mm
Mm -eh -ah, mm -mm -mm
I've been walking
Mm -eh -ah,
With my face turned to the sun
Mm -ah, mm -mm -mm
Mm -eh -ah, mm -mm -mm
Weight on my shoulders
a bullet in my gut oh
I got eyes in the back of my head
just in case I have to run
I do what I can when I can
while I can for my people
while the clouds roll back
and the 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 can feel it in my bones
Early in the morning
Before the sun be gins to shine
We're gonna start movin'
Towards that separating line
I'm wading through muddy waters
You know I got a made up mind
And I don't mind if I lose any blood
on the way to salvation
And I'll fight with the 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 keeping on
And I know
What's around the bend
Might be hard to face
Cause I'm alone
And I just might fail,
but Lord knows I'll try
Sure as stars fall off the sky
Stand up, take my people with me
Together we are go ing
to a brand new home
Far across the river,
can you hear freedom calling?
Calling me to answer,
gonna keep on keeping on
I'm gonna stand up,
take my people with me
Together we are going to
a brand new home
Far across the river,
do you hear freedom calling?
Calling me to answer,
gonna keep on keeping on
I'm gonna stand up,
take my people with me
Together we are going to Lebanon
Far across the river,
I hear freedom calling,
calling me to answer
Gotta keep on keeping 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
