|
| They got men makin' laws that destroy other men, made money, God,
|

|
| 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 about the people who are prayin' to you?
|
| They got men makin' laws that destroy other men, they made money, God,
|

|
| Oh, Lord, you got to help us find the way.

| 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?
|
| You know when I look inside my mind searchin' for the truth I find,
|
| Oh, Lord, you got to help us find the way.
