LIBERTY MOUNTAIN
[ country ]
There is a land beyond the stars where those who overcome go
Where there’s no sickness, hunger or wars and peaceful waters flow. . .
Come on everybody sing out Martin’s song
We all need help from above if we want’ta overcome
From daughters of truth an’ justice and sons of liberty
Ask not for who the bell tolls, freedom’s bell tolls for you an’ me
Take the peaceful easy doorway to freedom on liberty mountain
Come on up to liberty mountain, take a little drink from freedom’s fountain
Good news splashed on the doorpost written in crimson, “Everybody's welcome”
Take God's forgiving doorway to freedom on liberty mountain
Come on everybody sing out Rosa’s song
We all need help from above if we want’ta overcome
From daughters of truth an’ justice and sons of liberty
Ask not for who the bell tools, freedom’s bell tolls for you an’ me
Take the peaceful easy doorway to freedom on liberty mountain
Come on up to liberty mountain, take a little drink from freedom’s fountain
Good news splashed on the doorpost written in crimson, “Everybody's welcome”
Take God's forgiving doorway to freedom on liberty mountain
Have a drink of free wine from the Jesus fountain on liberty mountain *
* Dedicated to Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass, perhaps the two bravest individuals
in the history of the United States; based on the collected speeches of Martin
Luther King, Jr. and Meditation XVII, by Welsh/English poet John Donne: “. . .that they may be one
just as we are one. . .” – Jesus of Nazareth; founder of Human and Civil Rights
