Arise Blackman

歌詞

Lift up your heads, o ye gates And be ye lifted up, ye ever livin' black people The King of glory shall come in Arise Blackman, arise Arise and denote thyself Arise Blackman, arise Arise and denote thyself We've been sittin' in the dirt too long And it seems we don't know when we're right or wrong But help me sing my song, Blackman arise Arise Blackman, arise Arise and denote thyself right now Arise Blackman, arise Arise and denote thyself For the moon shall turn into blood And the rivers turn into flood And the sun will never shine, Blackman arise Arise Blackman, arise Arise and denote thyself Arise Blackman, arise Arise and denote thyself Remember we've been down here as slaves And to get a little job you have to trim and shave Your heaven becomes your grave, Blackman arise Arise Blackman, arise Arise and denote thyself Arise Blackman, arise Arise and denote thyself For the time of rights is now And you don't have to ask me how You've got to make a move, Blackman arise Arise Blackman, arise Arise and denote thyself right now Arise Blackman, arise Arise and denote thyself Every man on earth is a man And every tub have to stand on its own bottom No matter where you're from, Blackman arise So arise Blackman, arise
