Lindisfarne Freedom Square Lyrics

Freedom Square Lyrics

Please Captain, let me go down town

It's Sunday and my friends will be around

I've been to church like I'm supposed to do

And I prayed that my girl is gonna be there too

Cos Jesus said to me,

One day you'll be free,

But for now every Sunday, there's dancing in the square,

We'll sing our fathers' songs and there'll be freedom in the air

We'll plant a seed and maybe it'll grow

So please Captain, let me go



And that's right, that's right, going down to Freedom Square

That's right, that's right, that's right

And that's right, that's right, gonna meet my people there

That's right, that's right, that's right



Well I slaved all week and the day has come around

When I can slip these chains and lay my burden down

On Freedom Square, Old Hannah shine on bright

On the working man and make him feel alright

Today we're on our own,

We're taking it back home

And up from the plantation, the line is coming through

Like they're dancing in their shackles, the way they used to do

And every step they take is gonna be

One further down the road for you and me



And that's right, that's right, going down to Freedom Square

That's right, that's right, that's right

And that's right, that's right, gonna meet my people there

That's right, that's right, that's right
