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
