I read it in the bible

I told you not to waste my time

Why should i be liable

For every situation, and every crime?



I know it's a long way home

When you haven't got a ride

I know it's a long way home

And you know we've been fighting for the longest time



Ain't no freedom like your own

Ain't no freedom like to say this is mine

Ain't no freedom like your own

And you know we've been fighting for the longest time



I told it to some people

But they said the fault was mine

I know it's never easy

I know it's never easy when you walk in line



I know it's a long way home

When you haven't got a ride

I know it's a long way home

And you know we've been fighting for the longest time



Ain't no freedom like your own

Ain't no freedom like to say this is mine

Ain't no freedom like your own

And you know we've been fighting for the longest time



Why do we live this way

Wasting our lives?

Why are the things that we say

Seen as a crime?

I have to live my way

This is my life

I get on my knees and pray

Most of the time



Ain't no freedom like your own

Ain't no freedom like to say this is mine

Ain't no freedom like your own

And you know we've been fighting for the longest time
