[0:29]Sold me down a mighty river, sold me to the lowest bidder. Down in the water hole, change the path of my soul. There was no telling what would be. Taken to a foreign land, slave to a master's hand. Put into a prison cell, but still the blessings fell, and dreams spoken to my heart. And I'm free, from a life that was not meant for me. I'm free, and even though we are to overcome.
[2:07]I'm free, from a life that was not meant for me. I'm free, and even though we are to overcome. I'm free. Now I'm standing here, while I wipe away my tears. It's become so clear, as my brothers kneel. And I'm free, from a life that was not meant for me. I'm free, and even though we are to overcome. I'm free, and even though we are to overcome, given away, given away. I'm given away, I'm given away. It's not to overcome, given away.
