I won’t be told anymore That I’ve been brought down in this storm And left so far out from the shore That I can’t find my way back, my way anymore Oh no I, won’t be told anymore That I’ve been brought down in this storm And left so far out from the shore That I can’t find my way back, my way anymore Oh no..... I... I....

Forgive them that tear down my soul
Bless them that they might grow old
And free them so that they may know
That it’s never, too late

For the many times, what seemed like, a memory
I searched and found the ways you used to lure me in
Ooh, I found the ways,
Why it had to be
Marred in denial, and saw heart break / Mired in denial and so afraid

If we ever find it true,
That we had the strength to choose,
The freedom or the chains,
We held together

I'm gonna tell you a story Stand up for righteousness! What? Stand up for justice! What? Stand up for truth! How can a person grow up with all this around them? You got to call on that something Where does it come from? That can make a way out of no way All this hatred? What we've got here is.. Fear! That power that can make a way out of now no way Failure to communicate I tell ya I seen the lightning...I've heard the thunder roll! Everybody's acting like we can do anything and it don't matter what we do. Maybe we gotta be extra careful because maybe it matters more than we even know.. Sometimes... Hatred isn't somethin' you're born with I feel discouraged It gets taught Sometimes I feel discouraged I felt this fear He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone, no never alone, no never alone! Let's get something straight, alright? Promised never to leave me! This whole thing was fucked up Never to leave me alone! All men betray. All lose heart! I don't want to lose heart!...I want to believe Black men and white men Together at the table of brotherhood! I have a dream Free at last! Free at last! Thank God almighty! WE ARE FREE AT LAST! I won’t be told anymore That I’ve been brought down in this storm And left so far out from the shore That I can’t find my way back My way anymore Oh no I, won’t be told anymore That I’ve been brought down in this storm And left so far out from the shore That I can’t find my way back My way anymore Oh no
