I'm getting so weary,
This cross that I carry; starting to weigh me down, so far down,
If this is the nation of toleration, why must our faith be out of sight and sound?
If anything goes, then let me go my way,
I wanna live my life for him, so let me say...
Let my people go,
Let my people go,
Let my people go,
Won't you let my people go?
Let my people go,
Let my people go, (won't you let 'em go?)
Let my people go,
Won't you let my people...
Stake our destiny in the land of liberty,
The cross upon my shoulder is making me bolder,
Makes me wanna shout,
Let my people go.
Let my people go,
Oh, won't you let my people... (let 'em go)
Let my people go,
Won't you let my people...
Stake our destiny in the land of liberty,
The cross upon my shoulder, making me bolder,
I wanna shout,
Let my people go. (oh, let 'em go)
