She got outside one morning To see what's going on 'Cause she heard all the noises In the night, It's a celebration Even though she was old and grey It didn't mean she was deaf and dumb She looks one look at the man Throws her hands in the air And said God help us all Too much power in one mans hands Is dangerous She has never tasted freedom And all the things We take for granted Then she looked at me and said Son, Is this the end of our suffering?
[Chorus:] Is this freedom? Is this freedom?
We have just witnessed the Change of power from one fool And liar to another Our lives on the line again She had lived through the wars She didn't wanna go through it all again She has seen injustice She has seen corruption She has seen racism And any other kind of suffering You can think about Then she said to me Son, Is this the end of suffering?
