I have to have love
I'm made that way
Make it easy but make it
Love that day
Have to have peace
Get taken that way
Take it easy but take it

Do it carefully but do it

Thank God I'm Free
03:08

I see a little blackbird in the tree
I see a little hedgehog in the bushes
A little brown fox peers out at me
And I just thank God I’m free
I smell the salt from angry sea
I watch the smoke rise from the chimneys
I hold a baby on my knee
And I just thank God I’m free
Sometimes I hope and pray
This affliction would go away
Or death would come and rescue me
But then I remember others
My not so lucky brothers
And I thank God that I’m free
So now a buzzing bumblebee
The sound of shouts and cries and laughter
Are music in the perfect key
And I just thank God I’m free
Yes I just thank God I’m free
So now a buzzing bumblebee
The sound of shouts and cries and laughter
Are music in the perfect key
And I just thank God I’m free
Yes I just thank God I’m free
Yes I just thank God I’m free

Massa put de heavy ole chain round me ankle dem
Massa put de jackass rope around me hand
Massa tell me what fe do
Massa tell me what fe say
Massa tell me how fe look like sey me blind
But no care how him try
Till the day dat him die
Massa can’t find a way to chain me mind
So massa do yuh best
Mek de Devil do de rest
No you can’t chain up me mind
My mind is for me
And this mind it is free
No you can’t chain up me mind
Massa tell me when fe get up and fe go to bed
Massa tell me what to wear and what to eat
Massa tell me weh fe live
Massa tell me weh fe walk
Massa tell me how much pickney me fe hab
Though him kill me woman dead
Though him sell me pickney Ned
Massa can’t find a way to chain me mind
No no no no no no no no
So massa do yuh best
Mek de Devil do de rest
No you can’t chain up me mind
My mind is for me
And this mind it is free
No you can’t chain up me mind
Massa bruck me han an foot dem when me run away
Massa hang me brother up just the other day
Massa him know dat de law is de law for backra
Massa know him can do what him like wid me
Though me grin when him laugh
Bow and scrape when him pass
Massa can’t find a way to chain me mind
So massa do yuh best
Mek de Devil do de rest
No you can’t chain up me mind
My mind is for me
And this mind it is free
No you can’t chain up me mind

I live in the city, yes I do
I live in the city, yes I do
I live in the city, yes I do
Made by human hands
Black hands, white hands
Yellow and brown
All together, built this town
Black hands, white hands
Yellow and brown
All together make the wheels go round
I live in the city, yes I do
I live in the city, yes I do
I live in the city, yes I do
Made by human hands
Black hands, white hands
Brown and tan
Mill the flour, clean the pan
Black hands, white hands
Brown and tan
The working woman and the working man
I live in the city, yes I do
I live in the city, yes I do
I live in the city, yes I do
Made by human hands
Black hands, brown hands
Yellow and white
Build the buildings tall and bright
Black hands, brown hands
Yellow and white
Filling everyone with shining light
Black hands, white hands
Brown and tan
Mill the flour, clean the pan
Black hands, white hands
Brown and tan
The working woman and the working man
The working woman and the working man
