jack droppers & the best intentions – free lyrics
[verse 1]
saw my brother down on his knees
forced to give his own eulogy
as i was measuring the distance between
the world we’ve been given and the world that we’ll leave
how come most of us that ignore this
read the book and they look like me?
are we baptized in irony?
’cause we’re not free until we’re all free
[chorus]
we’re not free until we’re all free
we’re not free until we’re all free
we’re not free until we’rе all free
we’re not free until we’rе all free
[verse 2]
brother packed my bag and carried me
on a voyage ‘cross that wayward sea
docked his boat then shackled me
dragged me through a land tilled with red seed
father, father i can’t breathe
tell my mother now i’m free
was the hope you built not meant for me
when you were lynched on calvary?
[chorus]
’cause we’re not free until we’re all free
we’re not free until we’re all free
’cause we’re not free until we’re all free
we’re not free until we’re all free
[outro]
i’m looking for freedom, i’m pleadin’
won’t this come a bit sooner?
freedom, i’m pleadin’
won’t this come a bit sooner?
freedom, i’m pleadin’
can’t this come a bit sooner?
we’re not free until we’re all free
i’m looking for freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom)
won’t this come a bit sooner?
freedom (freedom), i’m pleadin’ (freedom)
won’t this come a bit sooner?
freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom)
won’t this come a bit sooner?
we’re not free until we’re all free
i’ve been looking for freedom, freedom (we’re talkin’ ’bout revolution)
won’t this come a bit sooner?
freedom, i’m pleadin’ (we’re talkin’ ’bout revolution)
can’t this come a bit sooner?
freedom, freedom (we’re talkin’ ’bout revolution)
won’t this come a bit sooner?
we’re not free until we’re all free
i’ve been looking for freedom, freedom (we’re talkin’ ’bout revolution)
won’t this come a bit sooner?
freedom, i’m pleadin’ (we’re talkin’ ’bout revolution)
won’t this come a bit sooner?
freedom, freedom (we’re talkin’ ’bout revolution)
jesus, can’t this come a bit sooner?
we aren’t free until we’re all free
