I'd sing more about moral of this land
But all God's children ain't free
I'd open up every door I can
Cause all God's children ain't free
I met a beaten broken man
He shovels dirt
But got no land
And he held out his hand to me
All God's children ain't free
I'd sing along
Too a silly song
But all God's children ain't free
I'm gonna sing the blues
For the men they done wrong
Cause all God's children ain't free
Mister, how about the man
You condemn to die
But taking everything
That he's living by
And reject him from society?
All God's children ain't free
No
Reject him from society
All God's children ain't free
I'd be happy walking any street
But all God's children ain't free
I'd have a smile for all I meet
But all God's children ain't free
I'd whistle down the road
But I wouldn't feel right
I'd hear somebody
Crying out at night
From a sharecropper shack or penitentiary
All God's children ain't free
From a sharecropper shack or penitentiary
All God's children ain't free
