00:00:00.076 --> 00:00:02.697
(applause)

00:00:11.492 --> 00:00:16.694
We who believe in freedom cannot rest

00:00:18.874 --> 00:00:20.280
Mmm

00:00:20.488 --> 00:00:23.294
We who believe in freedom

00:00:23.664 --> 00:00:28.020
Cannot rest until it comes

00:00:28.778 --> 00:00:32.263
We who believe in freedom

00:00:32.263 --> 00:00:34.758
Cannot rest

00:00:35.522 --> 00:00:37.443
Hear me talking to ya?

00:00:37.443 --> 00:00:40.493
We who believe in freedom

00:00:40.935 --> 00:00:44.917
Cannot rest until it comes

00:00:45.451 --> 00:00:49.758
Until the killing of black men,

00:00:50.308 --> 00:00:53.472
Black mothers' sons

00:00:53.472 --> 00:00:58.403
Is as important as the killing of white men,

00:00:58.733 --> 00:01:02.763
White mothers' sons

00:01:02.763 --> 00:01:06.370
We who believe in freedom

00:01:06.370 --> 00:01:08.953
Cannot rest

00:01:09.566 --> 00:01:11.384
Sing it with me if you like it

00:01:11.384 --> 00:01:14.766
We who believe in freedom

00:01:14.766 --> 00:01:18.978
Cannot rest until it comes

00:01:19.448 --> 00:01:23.365
The older I get, the better I know

00:01:23.437 --> 00:01:27.111
That the secret of my going on

00:01:27.111 --> 00:01:30.851
Is when the reins are in the hands of the young,

00:01:30.851 --> 00:01:35.480
Who dare to run against the storm

00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:39.150
To me, young people come first

00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:43.670
They have the courage where we fail

00:01:43.896 --> 00:01:47.814
And if I can but shed some light

00:01:47.814 --> 00:01:52.724
As they carry us through the gale

00:01:52.984 --> 00:01:58.989
We who believe in freedom cannot rest

00:01:59.586 --> 00:02:01.340
Hear me talkin' to ya

00:02:01.340 --> 00:02:04.789
We who believe in freedom

00:02:04.789 --> 00:02:09.150
Cannot rest until it comes

00:02:09.210 --> 00:02:13.399
Struggling myself don't mean a whole lot,

00:02:13.399 --> 00:02:17.480
I've come to realize

00:02:17.650 --> 00:02:21.874
That teaching others to stand up and fight

00:02:21.874 --> 00:02:26.042
Is the only way my struggle survives

00:02:26.042 --> 00:02:30.174
I'm a woman who speaks in a voice

00:02:30.174 --> 00:02:34.213
And I must be heard

00:02:34.213 --> 00:02:38.315
At times I can be quite difficult,

00:02:38.315 --> 00:02:43.204
I'll bow to no man's word

00:02:43.354 --> 00:02:49.965
We who believe in freedom cannot rest

00:02:49.965 --> 00:02:51.733
Hear me talkin' to ya?

00:02:51.733 --> 00:02:54.753
We who believe in freedom

00:02:54.753 --> 00:02:59.283
Cannot rest until it comes

00:02:59.283 --> 00:03:02.566
Not needing to clutch for power,

00:03:02.566 --> 00:03:07.591
Not needing the light just to shine on me

00:03:07.591 --> 00:03:11.213
I need to be one in the number

00:03:11.213 --> 00:03:16.322
As we stand against tyranny

00:03:16.322 --> 00:03:23.020
We who believe in freedom cannot rest

00:03:23.422 --> 00:03:27.955
Oh, we who believe in freedom

00:03:27.955 --> 00:03:31.617
Cannot rest until it comes

00:03:31.892 --> 00:03:38.421
(scatting)

00:04:08.989 --> 00:04:14.444
(voices grow faint)

00:04:32.345 --> 00:04:37.641
(voices grow strong)

00:04:37.998 --> 00:04:44.439
We who believe in freedom cannot rest

00:04:44.774 --> 00:04:50.049
Oh, we who believe in freedom

00:04:50.139 --> 00:04:58.510
Cannot rest till it comes

00:04:58.510 --> 00:05:04.434
Cannot rest

00:05:05.273 --> 00:05:08.521
(cheering and applause)
