Reason I Sing

Black Woman
 Be the mule of the earth
 She been drinking muddy water
 But she know what she worth
 Any Woman
 Be the mule of the earth
 With a mind set on freedom
 Cause she know what she worth
 Great Mother
 Visits me in a dream
 Rise up child, you can lead themIf you follow the stream
 Hidden Railroads
 And grasses of green
 I been wading through the water
 Trusting freedom will ring
 Got my mind set on freedom
 That's the reason I sing
 I been wading through the water
 Trusting freedom will ring
 Feet tired, I can't make it alone
 Back weary, Keep me safe, Keep me strong
 I got good-hearted people, Helping me carry on
 Got my mind set on freedom
 That's the reason I sing
 I been wading through the water
 Trusting freedom will ring
 Got my mind set on freedom
 That's the reason I sing
 I been wading through the water
 Trusting freedom will ring
