I hear the children play With the guards of the jail With the guards of the jail With the guards of the jail I'm thinking of a new name That I could give myself One day I'll be myself Oh, I'll be my own It's been forty long years In the desert I have been I've even hit the devils nose In the desert I have grown And as a woman said That day when I was crying out God puts his diamonds in the sand But then he will always takes them back Have a good day brother Me and your sister will rise up Like an elephant From the mud In your carefree sleep We will brake free We will brake free Have a good day brother Me and your little bro Me and your sister will rise up Like an elephant From the storm In your carefree sleep We will brake free And the city will be reborn And the streets will be washed May the streets be clean and washed May the streets be clean and washed And we will wave our hand And everybody will forget the past And everybody will forget the past And as a woman said That day when I was crying out God puts his diamonds in the sand But then he will always takes them back Have a good day brother Me and your sister will rise up Like an elephant From the mud In your carefree sleep We will brake free We will brake free Have a good day brother Me and your little bro Me and your sister will rise up Like an elephant From the storm In your carefree sleep We will brake free We will brake free I'm thinking of a new name That I could give myself One day I'll be myself Oh, I'll be my own
