North Mississippi Allstars Living Free Lyrics


Living Free by North Mississippi Allstars

[Verse 1]
Motherless children having hard times
Crying for their mothers at the borderline
Teach my children same as mother taught me
It's only skin we're in
We all need to be free

[Chorus]
She shed blood in the name of love
And if we shall not overcome
You and I unite and fight for freedom
If we shall not overcome
You and I unite and fight for freedom
They forgot about equality in the land of the free
If we shall not overcome
The family is ready to fight for freedom

[Verse 2]
[? Oh No?] Puerto Rico under tarps of blue
Dirty water in the dark, propaganda in the news
Who will help you? How does that apply to me?
Have we lost humanity in the land of the free?

[Chorus]
We'll shed blood in the name of love
But if we shall not overcome
You and I unite and fight for freedom
If we shall not overcome
You and I unite and fight for freedom

[Slide Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
I'm tired of singing the old protest songs still ringing true
Do unto others as you'd have them do unto you

[Verse 3]
Maybe we don't agree
You're free to believe
Don't try to force your beliefs on me
I'm living free (Yeah I'm living free)
Yeah I'm living free
We're living free (We are living free)
We are living free

[Outro]
Filled with appreciation, blessed with my beloved
We fight for freedom, fight for those in need
We fight for freedom, fight for those in need
We fight for freedom, fight for those in need
We fight for freedom, fight for those in need
We fight for freedom
