Sweet honey in the rock - Ella's Song

  • 0:00 - 0:03
    (applause)
  • 0:11 - 0:17
    We who believe in freedom cannot rest
  • 0:19 - 0:20
    Mmm
  • 0:20 - 0:23
    We who believe in freedom
  • 0:24 - 0:28
    Cannot rest until it comes
  • 0:29 - 0:32
    We who believe in freedom
  • 0:32 - 0:35
    Cannot rest
  • 0:36 - 0:37
    Hear me talking to ya?
  • 0:37 - 0:40
    We who believe in freedom
  • 0:41 - 0:45
    Cannot rest until it comes
  • 0:45 - 0:50
    Until the killing of black men,
  • 0:50 - 0:53
    Black mothers' sons
  • 0:53 - 0:58
    Is as important as the killing of white men,
  • 0:59 - 1:03
    White mothers' sons
  • 1:03 - 1:06
    We who believe in freedom
  • 1:06 - 1:09
    Cannot rest
  • 1:10 - 1:11
    Sing it with me if you like it
  • 1:11 - 1:15
    We who believe in freedom
  • 1:15 - 1:19
    Cannot rest until it comes
  • 1:19 - 1:23
    The older I get, the better I know
  • 1:23 - 1:27
    That the secret of my going on
  • 1:27 - 1:31
    Is when the reins are in the hands of the young,
  • 1:31 - 1:35
    Who dare to run against the storm
  • 1:35 - 1:39
    To me, young people come first
  • 1:40 - 1:44
    They have the courage where we fail
  • 1:44 - 1:48
    And if I can but shed some light
  • 1:48 - 1:53
    As they carry us through the gale
  • 1:53 - 1:59
    We who believe in freedom cannot rest
  • 2:00 - 2:01
    Hear me talkin' to ya
  • 2:01 - 2:05
    We who believe in freedom
  • 2:05 - 2:09
    Cannot rest until it comes
  • 2:09 - 2:13
    Struggling myself don't mean a whole lot,
  • 2:13 - 2:17
    I've come to realize
  • 2:18 - 2:22
    That teaching others to stand up and fight
  • 2:22 - 2:26
    Is the only way my struggle survives
  • 2:26 - 2:30
    I'm a woman who speaks in a voice
  • 2:30 - 2:34
    And I must be heard
  • 2:34 - 2:38
    At times I can be quite difficult,
  • 2:38 - 2:43
    I'll bow to no man's word
  • 2:43 - 2:50
    We who believe in freedom cannot rest
  • 2:50 - 2:52
    Hear me talkin' to ya?
  • 2:52 - 2:55
    We who believe in freedom
  • 2:55 - 2:59
    Cannot rest until it comes
  • 2:59 - 3:03
    Not needing to clutch for power,
  • 3:03 - 3:08
    Not needing the light just to shine on me
  • 3:08 - 3:11
    I need to be one in the number
  • 3:11 - 3:16
    As we stand against tyranny
  • 3:16 - 3:23
    We who believe in freedom cannot rest
  • 3:23 - 3:28
    Oh, we who believe in freedom
  • 3:28 - 3:32
    Cannot rest until it comes
  • 3:32 - 3:38
    (scatting)
  • 4:09 - 4:14
    (voices grow faint)
  • 4:32 - 4:38
    (voices grow strong)
  • 4:38 - 4:44
    We who believe in freedom cannot rest
  • 4:45 - 4:50
    Oh, we who believe in freedom
  • 4:50 - 4:59
    Cannot rest till it comes
  • 4:59 - 5:04
    Cannot rest
  • 5:05 - 5:09
    (cheering and applause)
