Freedom Time

Heard the news from the whispering trees,
This is the time when man must be freed,
No more burning in vain,
All we lose we'll have to gain,
Get ready children
Get ready children
Get ready children
Get ready children
Oh Didn't
I feed the cattle,
Didn't I plant the corn,
Didn't my people before me
Slave for this country,
Get ready children
Get ready children
Get ready children
Get ready children
Oh My sermon it was billed for freedom,
The good lord said son you're a free man,
I'm gonna talk that freedom talk,
Let me see you walk that freedom walk,
Get ready children
Get ready children
Get ready children
Get ready children
Oh When yah gets ready,
Children please,
A tell yah,
Got the news from a whispering tree ...
