Freedom for the stallion
Freedom for the mare and her colt
Freedom for the baby child
Who has not grown old enough to vote

Mercy, mercy, what you gonna do
'Bout the people who are prayin' to you?
They got men makin' laws that destroy other men
Made money, God, it's a doggone sin
Oh, Lord
You got to help us find the way

Big ship's sailin'
Slaves all chained and bound
Headed for a brand new land
That someone said he upped and found

Mercy, mercy, what you gonna do
'Bout the people who are prayin' to you?
They got men makin' laws that destroy other men
Made money, God, it's a doggone sin
Oh, Lord
You got to help us find the way

Freedom for the stallion
Freedom for the mare and her colt
Freedom for the baby child
Who has not grown old enough to vote
Mercy, mercy, what you gonna do
'Bout the people who are prayin' to you?
You know when I look inside my mind
Searching for the truth I find
Oh, Lord
You got to help us find the way

Freedom (No, we did early time)
