Stop it now
And look at me
You’ve chained me down
Let me be free
Took my life
Broke my soul
My family’s been bought and sold
Nelson Mandela has fought for me
Equality in society
Why is that you bring us pain
America
You remain
Bigotry is still intact
Support it as a matter of fact
Open up so the world can see
That we are dancin’ to be free
Dancin’ hard
Can’t you see
I’m dancin’ now
And to be free
From bigotry
From hurt and pain
From the fact that slavery still remains
Dancin’ to be free
Fighting us in our own land
We’re fighting back with a violent stand
Tried to talk
It hasn’t worked
You walked on us like we were dirt
Everyone is looking in
They never help
But say they’re friends
How could there be so much hate
Young folks think it’s not too late
Touch a friend
Know your foe
There’s another route that you can go
Don’t follow paths if you can see
That we are dancin’
Dancin’ to be free
Dancin’ hard
Can’t you see
I’m dancin’ now
And to be free
From bigotry
From hurt and pain
From the fact that slavery still remains
Dancin’ to be free
Dancin’ hard
Can’t you see
I’m dancin’ now
And to be free
From bigotry
From hurt and pain
From the fact that slavery still remains
Dancin’ to be free
Dancin’ hard
Can’t you see
I’m dancin’ now
And to be free
From bigotry
From hurt and pain
From the fact that slavery still remains
Dancin’ to be free
