The Fight for Freedom

[Intro - Instrumental] [Soulful guitar riff with organ swells] [Verse 1] Freedom's calling, can you hear it? Third time 'round, we ain't gonna fear it No man left behind, that's our creed Shining light on what we need [Chorus] Oh, the fight for freedom It's our time to rise Break these chains that bind us Open up our eyes [Horn section punctuation] [Verse 2] They passed the torch, now it's our turn To right the wrongs, let justice burn Family torn apart by lies But we'll stand strong, we'll touch the skies [Chorus] Oh, the fight for freedom It's our time to rise Break these chains that bind us Open up our eyes [Guitar solo - 8 bars] [Bridge] Remember their words, remember their fight Build on their work, day and night This journey's long, but we'll see it through Freedom's coming, me and you [Verse 3] We've come so far, but there's more to do Gotta keep on pushing, see it through Hand in hand, we'll make our stand Spread the message across this land [Call-and-Response] What we fightin' for? (Freedom!) Who we fightin' for? (Our people!) When we gonna stop? (Never!) 'Cause we're fighting for our... (Freedom!) [Instrumental break - 4 bars with prominent bass line] [Chorus - with ad-libs] Oh, the fight for freedom (We won't back down, no we won't) It's our time to rise (Rise up, brothers and sisters) Break these chains that bind us (Break 'em all) Open up our eyes (See the truth) [Horn section riff - 2 bars] [Outro] Freedom, freedom, we're coming for you (We're coming, oh yes we are) Freedom, freedom, we'll make it true (Make it true, make it true) [Fade out with repeated "Freedom" chants and instrumental improvisation]
