A modern day Moses, waking the streets
With shouts of glory, blistered feet
He's met the maker, he's met the reason he's alive
and he's on fire inside.
A modern day mother, living in the slums;
feeding the hungry, making sure the race gets run-
Always asking if we fought with steady feet
She fights on her knees.
Let my people go. (4 X)
A modern day Martin, in a world of civil words exchange
But dreaming bigger--thinks maybe he could make a change.
He's heard the stories, he wants some of his own,
and he's not alone.
Let my people go. (4 X)
(Bridge)
The time is not the moments here; walk in faith, or stand in fear
Change the course of history. Did you ever think?
No one ever thought --- who would have believed?
A modern day me. What have I become? What can I be?
If there is greatness out there to be achieved,
I want to be more than someone who just pa**es through this life.
I want to stand up for what is right
Let my people go. (Repeated to fade)
