[Verse 1]
Freedom for the stallion
Freedom for the mare and her colt
Freedom for the baby child
Who has not grown old enough to vote
[Chorus]
Lord, have mercy what you gonna do
About the people who are praying to You?
They got men making laws that destroy other men
They've made money God, it's a doggone sin
Oh Lord, You got to help us find a way
[Verse 2]
Big ship's a sailing
Slaves all chained and bound
Heading for a brand new land
That some cat said he upped and found
[Chorus]
Lord, have mercy, what You gonna do
About the people who are praying to You?
They got men making laws that destroy other men
They've made money God, it's a doggone sin
Oh Lord, You got to help us find a way
[Verse 1]
Freedom for the stallion
Freedom for the mare and her colt
Freedom for the baby child
Who has not grown old enough to vote
[Chorus]
Lord, have mercy what you gonna do
About the people who are praying to You?
You know when I look inside my mind
Searchin' for the truth, I find
Oh Lord, You got to help us find a way
