Damer:

(intro)
- mm mm

(vers 1 - sopran)
I been walkin' with my face turned to the sun
Weight on my shoulders a bullet in my gun
Oh, I got eyes in the back of my head
just in case I have to run

I do what I can when I can 
while I can for my people
While the clouds roll back and the stars fill the night

(refräng)
That's when I'm gonna stand up
take my people with me
Together we are going to a brand new home
Far across the river 
can you hear freedom calling?
Calling me to answer gonna keep on keepin' on

(sopran) I can feel it in my bones
mmmay ay ah, mm mm
mmmay ay ah, mm mm
mmmay ay ah, mm mm
mmmay ay ah, mm mm

(vers 2 – sopran)
mmmay ay ah, mm mm
mmmay ay ah, mm mm
mmmay ay ah, mm mm
mmmay ay ah, mm mm
I'm wadin' through muddy waters
You know I got a made up mind
and I don't mind if I lose any blood 
on the way to salvation
And I'll fight with the strength that I got until I die

(refräng)
So I'm gonna stand up
take my people with me
Together we are going to a brand new home
Far across the river 
can you hear freedom calling?
Calling me to answer gonna keep on keepin' on

(sopran) I can feel it in my bones
mmmay ay ah, mm mm
mmmay ay ah, mm mm
I go to prepare a place for you
I go to prepare a place for you
I go to prepare a place for you
I go to prepare a place for you

(vers 2 - alt, tenor, bas)
Early in the mornin' 
before the sun begins to shine
we're gonna start movin'
towards that separating line
I'm wadin' through muddy waters
You know I got a made up mind
and I don't mind if I lose any blood 
on the way to salvation
And I'll fight with the strength that I got until I die

(refräng)
-  stand up
take my people with me
Together we are going to a brand new home
Far across the river 
can you hear freedom calling?
Calling me to answer gonna keep on keepin' on

(tenor, bas, alt) -
mmmay ay ah, mm mm
mmmay ay ah, mm mm
mmmay ay ah, mm mm
mmmay ay ah, mm mm
mmmay ay ah, mm mm
mmmay ay ah, mm mm
