Freedom Is in the Trying

[MEN, spoken]
Even for the righteous, success is never certain.

[JUBA]
This is all I tell you because this is all I see
You answered questions right but you still ain't free
If you see an eagle sittin' on a crow's nest
His head in the east but his mind in the west
Freedom is no simple thing but all you need to know
Freedom's in the tryin', just walk on through the door

[MEN]
O Lord Juba

[JUBA]

[MEN]

[JUBA]

[MEN]

[JUBA]

[MEN]
And a o' brown squaw

[JUBA]
Freedom's in the tryin'
Walk on through the door
Freedom's in the tryin'
All you need to know
Freedom's in the tryin'
Walk on through the door
Freedom's in the tryin'
All you need to know

Freedom is no simple thing but all you need to know
Freedom's in the tryin', just walk on through the door
Freedom is no simple thing but all you need to know
Freedom's in the tryin', just walk on through the door
Freedom is no simple thing but all you need to know
Yeah, freedom's in the tryin', just walk on through the door

[MEN]
O Lord Juba

[JUBA]
Hey, Juba

[MEN]

[JUBA]

[MEN]
High, low Juba

[JUBA]
What I say?
That’s all I know
