Lyrics:
Oh, freedom, Oh, freedom
Oh freedom over me
And before I'd be a slave
I'd be buried in my grave
And go home to my Lord and be free
No more running, no more running
No more running over me
And before I'd be a slave
I'd be buried in my grave
And go home to my Lord and be free
No more crying, no more crying
No more crying over me
And before I'd be a slave
I'd be buried in my grave
And go home to my Lord and be free
There’ll be singing, there’ll be singing
There’ll be singing over me
And before I'd be a slave
I'd be buried in my grave
And go home to my Lord and be free
There’ll be shouting, there’ll be shouting
There’ll be shouting over me
And before I'd be a slave
I'd be buried in my grave
And go home to my Lord and be free
Oh, freedom, Oh, freedom
Oh freedom over me
And before I'd be a slave
I'd be buried in my grave
And go home to my Lord and be free
