Freedom Day - Max Roach

Whisper, listen, whisper, listen.

Whispers say we’re free

Rumors flyin', must be lyin'.

Can it really be?

Can’t conceive it, can’t believe it.

But that’s what they say

Slave no longer, slave no longer, this is Freedom Day

Freedom Day, it’s Freedom Day.

Throw those shackle n' chains away

Everybody that I see says it’s really true, we’re free

Whisper, listen, whisper, listen.

Whispers say we’re free

Rumors flyin', must be lyin'.

Can it really be?

Can’t conceive it, don’t believe it.

But that’s what they say

Slave no longer, slave no longer, this is Freedom Day

Freedom Day, it’s Freedom Day.

Throw those shackle n' chains away

Everybody that I see says it’s really true, we’re free

Freedom Day, it’s Freedom Day.

Free to vote and earn my pay

Dim my path and hide the way.

But we’ve made it Freedom Day
