WOKE UP THIS MORNING

I woke up this morning with my mind
My mind, it was staying on freedom (3 times)
Hallelu, hallelu, hallelujah

Walking and talking with my mind
My mind, it was staying on freedom (3 times)
Hallelu, hallelu, hallelujah

Thinking and moving with my mind
My mind, it was staying on freedom (3 times)
Hallelu, hallelu, hallelujah

Walking, walking with my mind on freedom (2 times)
Hallelujah

I met my brother on the street
He had a smile on his face
With his mind on freedom
I met my siser on the street
She had a smile on her face
And her mind on freedom
Hallelu, hallelu, hallelujah

Singing and praying with my mind
My mind, it was staying on freedom (3 times)
Hallelu, hallelu, hallelujah

I woke up this morning with my mind
My mind, it was staying on freedom (3 times)
Hallelu, hallelu, hallelujah
Hallelu, hallelu, hallelujah
