Freedom Is Calling
Voice of the Past
One of these mornings
I won't be late
I won't tarry
I won't faint
Cause freedom's calling me
Its calling me up yonder
Freedom is calling me
And it beckons me to come
I tried and tried to not hear
because of fear instill me
but my soul still answers
Cause freedom's calling me
Its calling me up yonder
Freedom is calling me
And it beckons me to come
So I get up out of myself
I make it to the door
and start right on my way
Something gotta be done
Cause freedom's calling me
Its calling me up yonder
Freedom is calling me
And it beckons me to come
I could hear a voice sounds like
angels all around me
They're calling me to come
So I arise early before the day breaks
and take my ancestors' place
Cause freedom's calling me
Its calling me up yonder
Freedom is calling me
And it beckons me to come
And it won't let me alone
cause freedom's calling me
I got run on child run on
Its calling me up yonder
over the hills and plains
Freedom is calling me
and I can't stop hearing
cause my people need freedom
its calling me and you.
