Freedom for the baby child who has not grown old enough to vote Lord, have mercy, what You gonna do

About the people who are prayin' to You?

They got men makin' laws that destroy other men

Made money, God, it's a doggone sin

Oh, Lord, You got to help us find the way Big ship's a-sailin', slaves all chained and bound

Headin' for a brand new land, that someone said he up and found Lord, have mercy, what You gonna do

Searchin' for the truth I find

Oh, Lord, You got to help us find the way

Hey, Lord
