Lyrics

GIVE US FREE ©Tom Favreau & David G Smith
Hebrews & Egyptians, Romans & the Christians
Holocaust survivors, Amistad up-risers_ Give us free
Cheyenne and Apache/Standing Rock and Wachahaxie
Ghost Dancers and spirits/Will chant until we hear it_ Give us free

Voices from our past
Are calling out to ask
What has taken root
In our hearts and hides the truth

We must stand up we must speak
For the strong and for the weak
For those who’ve come before us
Whose voices form this chorus_ Give Us Free

Borders built on systems, on the backs of countless victims
That feel the snakebite of division, that poisons and imprisons_ Give us free
Red and brown, black and yellow, any woman of any color
Bound and gagged in 2nd class, long to breathe Free at last….. Free at last

We must stand up we must speak
For the strong and for the weak
For those who’ve come before us
1) Whose voices form this chorus
2) Who we honor with this chorus_ Give us free

Give Us Free
(Give Us What)
Give Us Free
(Give Us What)
