Free the land Free the land
Free the land Free the land
Father, mother, sister and brother
Father, mother, sister and brother
Take a stand

Now you remember what Mama said
You reap what you have sown
But we don't want a piece of your pie
We want to bake our own

Free the land Free the land
Free the land Free the land
Father, mother, sister and brother
Father, mother, sister and brother
Take a stand

Now this land was watered with our sweat
And paid for with our grief
Now this man says he owns it
Who's the righteous, who's the thief?

Free the land
You got to free the land
Free . . . the land
You got to free the land

It takes time to build a nation
The river is deep and wide
Time to make things, time to break things
Time is on our side

Free the land . . . free the land . . .
Father, mother, sister and brother
Father, mother, sister and brother
Father, mother, sister and brother
You got to take a stand, free the land
You got to take a stand, free the land
You got to take a stand, free the land
You got to take a stand, free the land
Father, mother, sister and brother
Sister and brother we're building a nation
Sister and brother we're building a nation
Sister and brother we're building a nation
Sister and brother!
