I been walkin’ with my face turned to the sun
Weight on my shoulders a bullet in my gun
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
Refrain
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 mornin’
Before the sun begins to shine
We’re gonna start movin’
Towards that separating line
I’m wadin’ 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
Refrain:
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 tried
Sure as stars fill up the sky
Refrain:
I go to prepare a place for you
