[00:08.26]Composed by:Cynthia Erivo/Joshuah Brian Campbell
[00:12.39]I been walkin'
[00:16.49]With my face turned to the sun
[00:24.35]Weight on my shoulders
[00:28.78]A bullet in my gun
[00:35.39]Oh I got eyes in the back on my head
[00:40.52]Just in case I have to run
[00:48.22]I do what I can when I can while
[00:50.13]I can for my people
[00:53.97]While the clouds roll back and
[00:55.57]The stars fill the night
[00:58.47]That's when I'm gonna stand up
[01:01.73]Take my people with me
[01:04.58]Together we are going
[01:07.69]To a brand new home
[01:10.55]Far across the river
[01:13.56]Can you hear freedom calling
[01:16.63]Calling me to answer
[01:19.55]Gonna keep on keepin' on
[01:22.40]I can feel it in my bones
[01:36.37]Early in the mornin'
[01:40.24]Before the sun begins to shine
[01:47.73]We're gonna start movin'
[01:52.44]Towards that separating line
[01:59.43]I'm wadin' through muddy waters
[02:04.34]You know I got a made up mind
[02:07.61]I got a made up mind
[02:11.78]And I don't mind if I lose
[02:13.41]Any blood on the way to salvation
[02:17.84]And I'll fight with the strength that
[02:19.50]I got until I die
[02:22.82]So I'm gonna stand up
[02:25.69]Take my people with me
[02:28.60]Together we are going
[02:31.74]To a brand new home
[02:34.64]Far across the river
[02:37.57]Can you hear freedom calling
[02:40.62]Calling me to answer
[02:43.50]Gonna keep on keepin' on
[02:50.96]And I know what's around the bend
[02:56.41]Might be hard to face 'cause I'm alone
[03:02.45]And I just might fail
[03:05.37]But Lord knows I tried
[03:08.39]Sure as stars fill up the sky
[03:15.21]Stand up
[03:16.63]Take my people with me
[03:19.63]Together we are going
[03:22.71]To a brand new home
[03:25.73]Far across the river
[03:28.62]Can you hear freedom calling
[03:31.64]Calling me to answer
[03:34.51]Gonna keep on keepin' on
[03:38.22]I'm gonna stand up
[03:40.60]Take my people with me
[03:43.60]Together we are going
[03:46.68]To a brand new home
[03:49.64]Far across the river
[03:52.61]Do you hear freedom calling
[03:55.65]Calling me to answer
[03:58.53]Gonna keep on keepin' on
[04:02.23]I'm gonna stand up
[04:04.69]Take my people with me
[04:07.64]Together we are going
[04:10.70]To a brand new home
[04:13.71]Far across the river
[04:16.61]I can hear freedom calling
[04:19.69]Calling me to answer
[04:22.51]Gonna keep on keepin' on
[04:25.43]I can feel it in my bones
[04:30.88]Feel it in my bones
[04:33.24]I go to prepare a place for you
[04:39.27]I go to prepare a place for you
[04:45.24]I go to prepare a place for you
[04:51.28]I go I go I know to prepare a place for you
