Now is the time we have arrived on hallowed ground
Now is the time we need to stand and shout aloud
Justice should be reality for all of our kin
All this madness must end
Now is the time for them to hold real promises
Now is the time to rise from dark and desolate
Take up a hand and pull from the sand of the injustice
Like we should do, it's true
Now I'm looking at you
Still the heat hasn't faded
How can we claim to live in unity?
And I can't bare the hatred
How can anyone stand the contrary?
Don't you have the same dream?
Now is the time we need to call on all our friends
Now is the time for those who hide to take a stand
Join us today and demonstrate what will make us great
Like we should do, it's true
Now I'm looking at you
Still the heat hasn't faded
How can we claim to live in unity?
And I can't bare the hatred
How can anyone stand for contrary?
Can't you see? For you and me
Don't you have the same dream?
Woah, Let Freedom Ring
A dream today for joyous break
To dramatize a shameful play
A dream we sing and still believe in
Let Freedom Ring
To cash a check that had come back
To right the wrongs of learned past
We need to see the urgency to
Let Freedom Ring
A dream today for joyous break
To dramatize a shameful play
A dream we sing and still believe in
Let Freedom Ring
To cash a check that had come back
To right the wrongs of learned past
We need to see the urgency to
Let Freedom Ring
Now is the time, we've come here to remind
That we cannot cool off or tranquilize
We can't walk alone, we fight because there's hope
This sweltering heat shouldn't be at home
We need to rise to the majestic height
Together as we realize we're tied
We cannot turn back without cashing the check
Then God a-mighty we'll be Free At Last
