Freedom Walk

Where have you been Darkened with uncertainty No place to be found Chanted spiritual songs within one’s encouraging thought I need to be free I pray to thee Thunder raw Lightening outburst Slavery was hard and tormented Beaten and torn Sunrises being a forbidden rise Working on those cotton fields Plantation ordeals for real Wounds showing the many rebels Trapped in a prohibited society No pity Freedom only a thought Praying and constant praying Singing upon singing The slaves hope surrounded up in Heaven Numerous cries heard In 1862, the Emancipation Proclamation was documented, and Freedom became the word’s that Afro-Americans needed to hear No more worry some of fear It took place in Galveston, Texas Years upon years of denial Not knowing where nor if Heaven the many outcries Crisis finally came to an end Freedom, Freedom, Freedom From Slavery life into the light of the earthly kingdom Sacrifice proven Land’s wisdom Dwell doers The raw of thankful emotion Smooth breezes and calm oceans Life was and will be worth living The call for Freedom Emancipation at its best
