The Voices of East Harlem - Right On Be Free lyrics
I wanna go where the northwind blows
I wanna know what the falcon knows
I wanna go where the wild goose goes
High flying bird, high flying bird, fly on... I want the clouds over my head
I don't want no store bought bed
I'm gonna live until I'm dead
Mother, mother, mother, mother save your child... Right on, be free
Right on, be free
Right on, be free I don't want no store bought bed
Right on
I want the clouds over my head
Be free
Ain't no time to be afraid
Mother, mother, mother save your child... I don't want no store bought bed
Right on
I want the clouds over my head
Be free
Ain't no time to be afraid
Mother save your child I wanna see a rainbow in the sky
I wanna watch the clouds go by
Might make my load a little light
Lord, Lord, lord, where will I be tomorrow night? Right on, be free
Right on, be free
Right on, be free
Right on, be free...
