Soaring like a Bird
It doesn’t just go by
That easy little firefly
Can you hear the songs?
Of the freedoms call?
Soaring like a bird
Soaring like a bird
With high hopes and raised hands
A chain that seems so strong to that can’t appear to be broken
Notes go by in the air
The Freedom riders had plenty of care
Many had been vexed and stood in the way of them
Freedom riders still they stayed strong
With many tears they still tried hard
But they are not the only ones
Soaring Like a Bird
Soaring like a Bird
With high hopes and raised hands
A chain that seems so strong to that can’t appear to be broken
Brave brute and brave bonds
They hold hands as they sing for freedom
Some wish it would stop but some think of waiting
Do not wait my friends for you must bring the change
Spread those wings up high for not letting them get by
