Phoebe Rees - Freedom Is A Constant Song

I remember 1965
In a country church singing freedom songs
Good people struggling to survive
Asking why must it take so long

Late this evening I can hear
Through my window high above
Young marchers singing back the fear
Against the chill of a dream gone wrong
They bring us courage, hope and love
For freedom is a constant song
Freedom is a constant song

50 years since I first learned
These songs of longing to be free
Past all the bridges that they’ve burned
They hearten and encourage me

I am so grateful that tonight
I saw these marchers come again
No work to do except what’s right
No words to say except Amen
