Freedom Road Songtext

von Josh White

That's why I'm marching, yes, I'm marching
Marching down Freedom's Road
Ain't nobody gonna stop me, nobody gonna keep me
From marching down Freedom's Road
Hand me my gun, let the bugle blow loud
I'm on my way with my head up proud
One objective I've got in view
Is to keep ahold of freedom for me and you

That's why I'm marching, yes, I'm marching
Marching down Freedom's Road
Ain't nobody gonna stop me, nobody gonna keep me
From marching down Freedom's Road

It ought to be plain as the nose on your face
There's room in this land for every race
Some folks think that freedom just ain't right
Those are the very people I want to fight . . .

That's why I'm marching, yes, I'm marching
Marching down Freedom's Road
Ain't nobody gonna stop me, nobody gonna keep me
From marching down Freedom's Road

United we stand, divided we fall
Let's make this land safe for one and all
I've got a message and you know it's right
Black and white together, unite and fight!
