[Verse 1]
Oh, we gonna shout it out
Yes, we gonna tell they
Tell them that we are free again
Free from the wicked man
Free from the misery

[Chorus]
We are free again
We are free again

[Verse 2]
No more cryin' (Oh, no)
No more weepin' (Oh, no)
No more moanin'
Shout it out, I said, loud an' clear
Tell them that you know we are free again
Free from the wicked man
Free from the misery

[Outro]
We are free again (Oh, yes)
We are free again (Tell dem, my brothers)
We are free again (Go tell my sisters)
We are free again (Freedom!)
We are free again (Freedom!)
We are free again (Freedom!)
We are free again (Wo-ho!)
We are free again (Freedom!)
We are free again (Freedom!)
We are free again (Freedom!)
