Freedom Street

Ken Boothe

Let's not quarrel, let's not fight
Let's get together, we all can unite
Then take off these chains from off our feet
'Cause we gonna walk, we gonna walk, walk down freedom street
Everybody knows we gonna walk, we gonna walk
Walk, walk, walk, down freedom street

Let me tell you people
United we stand, divided we fall
Respect your brothers, sisters and all
Let's not deal with illiteracy, work it out intelligently

Lord, Lord, 'cause we gonna walk, we gonna walk
Walk, walk, walk, down freedom street
Everybody knows we gonna walk, we gonna walk
Walk, walk, walk, down freedom street, dear, God

Can't see clearly 'cause I worked hard last night
It must be a vision 'cause there's no change in sight
I see a big, big street, where all hands meet
It must be freedom street, oh Lord, freedom street

Everybody knows we gonna walk, we gonna walk
Walk, walk, walk, down freedom street
Everybody knows we gonna talk in the whole wide world
As we go walkin' slowly
