Halfway there

I've come this far to freedom and i

won't turn back I'm climbing to the

highway from my old dirt track I'm

coming and I'm growing and I'll

reap what I've been sowing or my

skin's not black I've prayed and

slaved and waited and I've sung

my song you're bled me and you

starved me I've still grown strong

you've lashed me and you've freed

me but in time you'll know you

need me and it won't be long I've

seen the daylight breaking high

above the rush I've found my

destination and I've made my vow

so whether you abhor me or deride

me or ignore me mighty mountain

loom before me and i won't stop
now
