Hear me Lord Lord, My people wanna be free Just like the blind would like to see But the hotter the battle will be The sweeter the victory Give us faith to face another day Guide the sinner now, to long [?] our way Give us strength, dear Lord, I pray That we shall overcome someday Alright Lord Give an helping hand To each and everyone We do all the work each and every day And still for all we don't get no pay But I know that things won't last this way 'Cause we shall overcome someday Lord, My people wanna be free Just like the blind would like to see But the hotter the battle will be The sweeter the victory
