We've Been Freed

We've been freed, yeah

We've been freed

They told us we were broken

Told us we couldn't rise

But something deep inside was woken

When we opened up our eyes

We carried weight for so long

Burden wasn't ours to bear

Now we're singing freedom songs

Feeling lighter in the air

We've been freed, we've been freed

From the chains that held us down

We've been freed, oh we've been freed

Now we're standing on solid ground

We've been freed, yeah we've been freed

Let the whole world hear the sound

We've been set free, mmm

We've been freed

They tried to dim our light

Told us to stay small and quiet

But we found our own truth in the night

Started our own uprising

Every voice that they silenced

Made us stronger than before

Now our silence is violence

We won't take it anymore

We've been freed, we've been freed

From the chains that held us down

We've been freed, oh we've been freed

Now we're standing on solid ground

We've been freed, yeah we've been freed

Let the whole world hear the sound

We've been set free, baby

We've been freed

No more looking back

No more living in the past

We reclaimed what we lacked

This freedom's gonna last

They can't break us down

We've already paid the cost

Now we wear our freedom crown

No more searching for what's lost

I see it in your eyes

That fire burning bright

We're the answer to our cries

We're our own light

Hold your head up high

Remember what we've overcome

We're soaring through the sky

Our victory has come

We've been freed, we've been freed

From the chains that held us down

We've been freed, oh we've been freed

Now we're standing on solid ground

We've been freed, yeah we've been freed

Let the whole world hear the sound

We've been set free, mmm

We've been freed

We've been freed, yeah

We've been freed

Oh, we've been freed

Forever free
