The Liberation Song [Red, Black and Green]

I've seen the red Sun in the autumn
And I've seen the leaves
Turn to golden-brown
I've seen the red Sun in the autumn
And I've
Seen the leaves returning to golden-brown
I've seen the red blood of my people
Heard them calling for freedom everywhere
And if you've seen the red
Blood of your people
All you've got to do is
Reach out your hand and we'll take you there
Red stands for liberation red, red, yeah

I see the blackness of winter
And I see death lurking in the trees yeah
I see the blackness of winter, yeah
And I see death lurking in the trees
I see the blackness of my people
You know they're
Calling for freedom everywhere
I've seen the blackness of my people
And all you've got to do
Brothers and sisters
Reach out your hands we're gonna
Take you there black stands for liberation
Yeah, aah

I've seen the green buds in the springtime
And somebody told me that means new life
I've seen the green buds in the springtime
Coming up through the concrete
Somebody told me they symbolize new life
I've seen the green fields of my homeland
And I've
Heard people calling for freedom everywhere
It seemed to me like
If you've seen the green fields of your
Homeland, even when you dream it, you can
Reach out your mind and someone
Will take you there because
Green stands for liberation green

There are three colors on our flag now
Brothers
One red, one black, and there's one green
There are three colors on our flag now
Sisters can you tell your babies what
They mean? I'm talking ‘bout
Red and the black and green want
You to keep on thinking ‘bout
Red and the black and green i'm
Gonna keep on singing ‘bout
Red and the black and green
And sooner than you think
The whole world's gonna know just what
We mean when we say
They stand for liberation
They stand for liberation

I'm talking ‘bout red, yes
And black we're talking ‘bout
Green it's more than a dream if
You dig what we mean
It stands for liberation
It stands for a brand-new nation
It stands for liberation
It stands for a brand-new nation yeah
