Take me to the deep south
Show me the blues
Muddy Waters, BB King, Billie Holliday

Let me hear spirituals
Lena Horne, Elvis Presley, Bessie Smith
Ray Charles, please sing!

From the beginning
Men have cried for liberty
Songs of justice and freedom
To live unfettered
Able to walk their own path
Ancient songs still sung today

Melodies differ
But messages are the same
Spirituals from the chained
Serfs cried out to kings
Dictators hear the masses
Ancient songs still sung today
