A mountain is made from the world's heartache and with the pain
We make noise when we start to move, but they're still the same
But if we all just keep trying to move forward, maybe things will get changed, at least
I can say
I kept moving on, and I'll keep moving until I can see the dawn, manifest that tomorrow
These shackles will all be gone, and we will be free
Oh, yes, I believe, at least in the afterlife, oh, what a life, living without hope, living
Without light, living wondering if there still is a God, living watching my people get belittled
Living with a thought that exists in the minds of the world, a thought is strong enough
To do worse than any man I've seen with a gun in the hand
My king says he's trying to save us, but I can't sit here in confidence and believe that
His gun is not aimed at you and me, but if it keeps another woman from burying her son
Then guilty as I plead, until I can say, until I can say
I kept moving on, and I'll keep moving until I can see the dawn, manifest that tomorrow
These shackles will all be gone, and we will be free
Oh, yes, I believe, until I can say
You say you'll march all night, ain't no way of going home, till my chains are broken
Till my chains are broken, till my chains are broken
