Lord it's so hard, living this life
A constant struggle each and every day
Some wonder why I'd rather die
Than to continue living this way
Many are blind and cannot find
The truth cause no one seems to really know
But I won't accept that this is how it's gon' be
Devil you gotta let me and my people go
Cause I want to be free, completely free
Lord won't you please come and save me
I want to be free, totally free
I'm not gon' let this world worry me
A constant struggle each and every day
Some wonder why I'd rather die
Than to continue living this way
Many are blind and cannot find
The truth cause no one seems to really know
But I won't accept that this is how it's gon' be
Devil you gotta let me and my people go
Cause I want to be free, completely free
Lord won't you please come and save me
I want to be free, totally free
I'm not gon' let this world worry me
