Moses- Harriet Tubman
Big dipper in the sky
Lead me to freedom
Sing me a hymn to guide my way
Whisk me strength
So I can reach
The promised land
Let Moses guide my hand
Let a lantern light
Show me mercy
Quilt me a story of passage
Send me an angel from
The north
And ship me down to glories road
Let me bathe in clean and fresh water
Let me start anew
Let me reach freedom
Let me sleep one day in my own bed
Let me just get a taste of freedom
Just dribble some freedom down my lips
Mouth dry and cracked and bleeding with blood
A rope imprint lined across the left jaw
Back hunched
Hands up in the sky
pleading with you
DEAR LORD
LET
Slowly closing her eyes
And she dies at freedoms gate
Barely in
Barely free
She was still shackled in her chains
She was still slave
A slave to freedom
