Yeah, we came from the fields, workin' under that heat,
Chains on our wrists, shackled up to our feet,
On them ships, man, it was dark and cold,
But we had a dream, one day we'd be bold.
From chains to freedom, watch us rise,
Breakin' these walls, touchin' the skies,
From chains to freedom, hear our cries,
Ain't no turnin' back, we on the rise.
Master crackin' whips, tryin' to kill our vibe,
But deep in our souls, we kept that drive,
Sneakin' out at night, plottin' the escape,
On that underground, findin' our fate.
Now we marchin' strong, heads held high,
No more tears, no more lies,
Shackles broken, freedom found,
Listen to our hearts, that powerful sound.
From chains to freedom, watch us rise,
Breakin' these walls, touchin' the skies,
From chains to freedom, hear our cries,
Ain't no turnin' back, we on the rise.
Keep it movin', brighter days ahead,
For the ancestors, and the blood they shed,
From chains to freedom, this our song,
In the land of the free, where we belong.
