Is This Freedom Songtext
von Lucky Dube

She got outside one morning
To see what′s going on
'Cos she heard all the noises in the night
It′s a celebration
Even though she was old and grey
It didn't mean she was deaf and dump
She took one look at the man
Closer, standing there and said
'God help us all′
Too much power in one man′s hands is dangerous
She has never tasted freedom
And all the things we take for granted
Then she looked at me and said son
Is this the end of our suffering
Is this freedom? (This is)
Is this freedom? (Is it now)
Is this freedom? (Is it)
Is this freedom? (Are we free at last)
Is this freedom? (Is it)
Is this freedom?


We have just witnessed
The change of power
From one fool
One lier to another
Our lives are on the line again
She has lived through the wars
She didn't wanna go through it all again
Oh God
She have seen injustice
She have seen corruption
She have seen racism
Any other kind of suffering you can think about
Oh God
Then she said to me son
Is this the end of our suffering?
Is this freedom? (Is it now)
Is this freedom? (this is)
Is this freedom? (is it now)
Is this freedom?
Is this freedom? (we have)
Is this freedom? (this is)
Ooo
Free at last
Is this freedom? (this is)
Is this freedom? (this is)
Is this freedom? (are we free at last)
Is this freedom?
We′re free at last (at last)
Oo oo
Is this freedom?
