there she stands in the distance 
holding her fire to the sky
she won't be denied, her freedom
the face of love, symbol of grace 
mother to the whole human race
cross the ocean for her freedom 
we are her children
born with the right 
no man can undo this truth
we are the masses
come from afar
poor but not powerless
i see my reflection in your eyes
yellow and red, black and white 
the tie that binds beyond our colors
jesus' blood flows through my veins 
the dreamers' dream will remain 
for the freedom fighters' mission 
brothers paid with their lives
for the rights that should have been free
a sacrifice for liberty
hear my sister singing her song
she inspires the fire in me
the voice of hope and liberty 
we've come a long way
though the waters tossed and turned us
we've come to find out
the answer to the question
where do we belong?
