Lift Every Voice and Sing Melba Moore (Ft. Anita Baker, BeBe & CeCe Winans, Bobby Brown, The Clark Sisters, Dionne Warwick, Freddie Jackson, Gerald Albright, Howard Hewett, Jeffrey Osborne, Stephanie Mills, Stevie Wonder, Take 6 & Terri Lyne Carrington)

I've been singing this song a long time
Because it makes me happy to sing
About freedom and victory
But I decided I didn't want to sing it by myself anymore
So I invited some of my dear friends (let freedom ring)
To help me sing about freedom and cause it to ring

Lift every voice and sing
Till Earth and Heaven ring
Ring with the harmony of liberty
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the listening sky
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea
(Let freedom ring)

Ooh, oh, from me to you, my sisters
Let freedom ring
And from me to you, my sisters (let freedom ring)
Here from me to you, my brothers

God of our weary years
God of our silent trial of tears
Thou who has brought us thus far on our way
Thou who has by thy might led us into the light

Please keep us forever (yes, forever)
Let 'em ring, yeah (I'm praying, Master)
Forever (forever) in thy path we pray
(We pray, my, my Master) Let freedom ring
Let it ring to the young
Oh, keep me Lordy, Lordy
