FREEDOM IS A CONSTANT STRUGGLE (The Freedom Singers)

They say that freedom is a constant struggle (x3)
Oh Lord, we've struggled so long
We must be free,(x2)

They say that freedom is a constant crying...
Oh Lord, we've cried so long...

They say that freedom is a constant sorrow...
Oh Lord, we've sorrowed so long...

The say that freedom is a constant moaning...
Oh Lord, we've moaned so long...

They say that freedom is a constant dying...
Oh Lord we've died so long,
We must be free, we must be free

midi soon.
