Lyrics
Got To Be Free
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I remember how we picked our food from,
The bushes and the ground and the trees,
I remember how we drank the water,
From the rivers and the wells and the streams,
Chorus:
Just like me, You've gotta be free, You've gotta be free,
We've lived through so much pain and trouble,
But Jesus said he'd save us all,
I remember all the words He's spoken,
I believe that I can hear Him call,
Repeat Chorus:
If you look across a snowcapped mountain,
And see the sun appear from behind,
If you look into a dark cloud floating,
Through a stormy dim and grey coloured sky,
Repeat Chorus:
We've lived through so much pain and trouble,
But Jesus said he'd save us all,
I remember all the words He's spoken,
I believe that I can hear Him call,
Repeat Chorus:
