《Freedom Song》歌词

[00:00:07] With blisters on her feet she walked the road each day

[00:00:14] Montgomery Alabama '55

[00:00:21] Singing "Justice is going to flow down like a river

[00:00:28] Our children would no longer be deprived"

[00:00:36] Rosa's heart was heavy but she would never cry

[00:00:43] For her people she would stand and hold the line

[00:00:50] Armed with the power of songs and simply dignity

[00:00:57] She swore "The voice that would surrender won't be mine"

[00:01:05] Woman singing a freedom song

[00:01:12] Woman showing us the way

[00:01:19] Rosa never took that bus but walked on through the rain

[00:01:27] She prayed for the power to make her stand alone

[00:01:34] Soon voices filled the streets from the county's back rooms

[00:01:41] Spirits raised by the courage of just one

[00:01:49] Rosa Parks had a dream and it lifted her

[00:01:56] Of simply how much better life could be

[00:02:03] She lit the flame and the fire is still burning

[00:02:10] Inside every heart that's longing to be free

[00:02:18] Woman singing a freedom song

[00:02:25] Woman showing us the way

[00:02:32] Woman singing a freedom song

[00:02:39] I'd love to hear that voice today

[00:02:59] With blisters on her feet she moved from place to place

[00:03:06] Outside Dublin city '81

[00:03:12] Sick and tired of being a stranger in her own home

[00:03:20] Where others had their comforts she had none

[00:03:27] They gave Nan Joyce's people 48 hours

[00:03:35] To leave with their belongings once againg

[00:03:42] But Nan Joyce had seen enough of these evictions

[00:03:49] She dreaded facing the winter's wind and rain

[00:03:57] Woman singing a freedom song

[00:04:04] Woman showing us the way

[00:04:12] All her life Nan faced fear and ignorance

[00:04:18] Saw her loved ones turned away from countless doors

[00:04:26] With ancient songs and tales around the warm fire

[00:04:33] Spirits raised by the wealth of the travellers lore

[00:04:41] Nan Joyce had a dream and it lifted her

[00:04:48] She stood her ground and held her head on high

[00:04:55] She found her voice and spoke out

[00:04:58] So her children could be loved

[00:05:02] As Irish brothers and sisters by and by

[00:05:10] Woman singing a freedom song

[00:05:17] Woman showing us the way

[00:05:25] Woman singing a freedom song

[00:05:32] I'd love to hear that voice today
