Freedom, freedom come
Hold on, won't be long
Freedom, freedom come
Hold on, won't be long
Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water
Soon I will be done with the troubles of this world
Troubles of the world
Troubles of the world
Soon I will be done with the troubles of the world
Going home to live with God
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child, a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
A long, long way from home
Keep your lamps trimmed and burning
Keep your lamps trimmed and burning
Keep your lamps trimmed and burning
The time is drawing nigh
Children don't get weary
Children don't get weary
Children don't get weary
The time is drawing nigh
