Gospel Song

There is a song

Echoes in my head

Seems to know no rhyme and know no reason

But somewhere in the dark

It beats within my heart

Keeping time to every cry for freedom

And it's hard just how to sing it right

It's hard to know what fights we ought to fight

Oh, I wish there were one wrong and just one right

To lead us on the gospel song of freedom

Oh I wish I'd never seen

What man can do to man

The pain and hurt created by our busy hands

When over and above

I hear the song of love

Sung by pilgrims on their way to glory land (to glory land)

And it's hard just how to sing it right (Oo Oo-Oo Ooo)

And it's hard to know what fights we ought to fight (Oo Oo-Oo Ooo)

Oh, I wish there were one wrong and just one right (Oo Oo-Oo Ooo)

To lead us on the gospel song of freedom (Ooo)

And it's hard just how to sing it right (Oh, Oh sing...)

And it's hard to know what fights we ought to fight (Oh sing...)

Oh, I wish there were one wrong and just one right

To lead us on the gospel song of freedom (Lead us on, freedom)

It's hard to leave behind

The places you've grown

Where your roots are deep and branches intertwine

And it's hard to see the road

To part from what you know

There are songs to sing and there are wounds to bind

And it's hard just how to sing it right

And it's hard to know what fights we ought to fight

I wish there were one wrong and just one right

To lead us on the gospel song of freedom
