Lyrics
[verse]
I been walking through the valley since I understood my worth
Carrying the weight of every generation on this earth
But I ain't stopping, ain't slowing, ain't backing down today
Freedom's calling louder than the chains they tried to lay
[verse]
Every ancestor that fought before me lit the road
Every single sacrifice becomes the strength I hold
I'm not asking for permission, I'm not waiting for the sign
Freedom's in my blood, freedom's on my mind
[chorus]
Freedom, freedom, I can't move, can't be still
Freedom, freedom, we gonna rise until
Freedom, freedom, cut me loose, let me go
Freedom's not a gift, it's something that I know
[verse]
Every river I've crossed made me stronger than before
Every closed door taught me how to build my own
I carry my grandmother's strength inside my chest
Freedom is the only thing I've never let rest
[chorus]
Freedom, freedom, I can't move, can't be still
Freedom, freedom, we gonna rise until
Freedom, freedom, cut me loose, let me go
Freedom's not a gift, it's something that I know
[bridge]
Stand up, rise up, this is our time to run
Every generation building for the ones to come
We ain't waiting for the world to set us free
Freedom is the truth we carry, you and me
[chorus]
Freedom, freedom, I can't move, can't be still
Freedom, freedom, we gonna rise until
Freedom, freedom, cut me loose, let me go
Freedom's not a gift, it's something that I know
