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 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
