Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She came from up the block
Same cracked sidewalk
Same old store
Knew every name on every porch
Knew what we’d been praying for
She knocked on every door
Listened more than she would speak
Turned every little “maybe someday”
Into food on a plate this week
[Chorus]
I’m gonna stand up
Take my people with me
Together to that brand new home
We ain’t turning back
’Til our children see it
Across the river
Freedom is calling me
(oh, freedom is calling)
Across the river
Freedom is calling me
[Verse 2]
She raised her right hand shaking
Swore to fight for every side
Signed her name on all our heartache
Called it “ours” and called it “mine”
Turned old lots into green gardens
Turned sirens into songs
Said
“You been told you’re asking too much
You been told that for too long”
[Chorus]
I’m gonna stand up
Take my people with me
Together to that brand new home
We ain’t turning back
’Til our children see it
Across the river
Freedom is calling me
(yeah, freedom is calling)
Across the river
Freedom is calling me
[Bridge]
Who’s the mayor?
She’s the neighbor
Holding babies
Holding plans
Who’s the leader?
We’re the reason
She keeps reaching out her hands
[Chorus]
I’m gonna stand up
Take my people with me
Together to that brand new home
We ain’t turning back
’Til our children see it
Across the river
Freedom is calling me
(keep on, keep on)
Across the river
Freedom is calling me
