A seed slowly fractures the soil as it ascends
We are descended on the ground before an angel appears
With no trumpets or ember shouting from the ground he whispers
Freedom was the only thing we understood for it was once engraved in our bones
We are descended on ground as the angel appears
With his lips he sings the emancipation
Freedom was the only thing we understood as it became engraved on our bones
With his voice he broke the shackles of our descendant
With his lips he sings the emancipation
And we dropped our hoe and weaved baskets
With his voice he broke the shackles of our descendant
And we start to rise to the kingdoms of heaven
