[ Featuring Wynton Marsalis ]
Whisper, listen, whisper, listen
Whispers say we're free
Rumors flyin', must be lyin'
Can it really be?
I can't conceive it, can't believe it
But that's what they say
Slave no longer, slave no longer
This is Freedom Day
Freedom Day, it's Freedom Day
Throw those shackle n' chains away
Everybody that I see
Says it's really true, we're free
Whisper, listen, whisper, listen
Whispers say we're free
Rumors flyin', must be lyin'
Can it really be?
I can't conceive it, can't believe it
But that's what they say
Slave no longer, slave no longer
This is Freedom Day
Freedom Day, it's Freedom Day
Throw those shackle n' chains away
Everybody that I see
Says it's really true, we're free
Freedom Day, it's Freedom Day
Free to work and earn your pay
Dim the path and hide the way
But we've made it Freedom Day"
