Let my people go!

I heard a whisper in the flame,  
A voice that called me by my name.  
Said, “I’ve seen the tears, I’ve felt the weight,  
Now rise and walk, don’t hesitate.”

Chains don’t shine, they only bind,  
But freedom’s waiting if you realign.

He’s Above them all , Let my people go!   (¡Déjalo ya!)  
We’re walking out, we’re moving slow.   (¡Camina ya!)  
No need to shout, just let it show.   (¡Muéstralo ya!)  
He’s leading us, and now we know.   (¡Ahora ya!)  
Let my people go!

We crossed the waters, left the pain,  
No turning back, no more chains.  
The promised light is in our hands,  
We’re building hope on sacred land.

We are the locks, He holds the key,  
Open the gates, set captives free.  
No more silence, no disguise,  
We walk in truth, we rise, we rise.

Let my people go!   (¡Déjalo ya!)  
From every street, let freedom flow.   (¡Libertad ya!)  
We’re not alone, we’re not below.   (¡Arriba ya!)  
We’re chosen now, and now we know.   (¡Ahora ya!)  
Let my people go!
