an evolution from bondage to freedom |
I was born free... Before the coming of my birth there was a plan for my freedom They suffered the lash of ole' massa's whip They sang ole spiritual hymns of a place with peace, harmony and freedom I was born free... Before the blue print of my life was designed They were lynched, beaten, and tortured 'Cause they tired of ole' Jim Crow and his laws They sit in segregated resturants, schools and march in protest 'cause they wanna eat, sleep, drink, and learn like the white folks do I was born free Before the coming of my soul was sent to Mother Earth He shouted for freedom to ring! His voice rippled like a tidal wave through the millions of brothers and sisters who were there to hear his voice He had a light of fire in his eyes as he preached of a better world where all men of all races would learn to live together in harmony I was born free Because of a lost world seeking answers... He was sent He became the Way, the Truth and the Light He sacrificed Himself for His bride So that she might live. His death freed me from the bondage of sin. His grace gave me a chance to live The Blue print is done the battle is won and another beautiful creation is born I was born free. |
