lyrics

I woke up and I was mourning
to be working in this fighting world
oh and how I wished our ambitions
could’ve been less than the missions to the moon
I thought only then I could sit
and enjoy walnut textures and paint the walls of my room

but now I know that we’re already free
now I know that we’re already free

highways are like rivers
rivers running dry
rivers are polluted
by a generation that drives
and we drive over the rivers
instead of travel by

all this too is meaningless
one day it will die
all this too is vanity
one day it will die

oh and you’re gonna find these distances were made for your walking feet
every seed bearing fruit is a green plant for every creature to eat
open your eyes to all the colors on your way
it’s all around, healing you, it’s for free, oh it’s for free!
trumpet sounds from all creation
we shout, oh how we shout
how we’re free, how we’re free, oh, how we’re free, oh, how we’re free!
faith and hope in an invisible Father
we shout oh how we shout
free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty!*

*Line from the African American spiritual “Free at Last”, quoted famously by Martin Luther King, Jr. as the last line of his “I Have a Dream” speech delivered in 1963 at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.
*Thanks to Lightning Lucas for this melody here!

about

Ears to the Ground Family image

Ears to the Ground Family Harrisonburg, Virginia

Ears to the Ground Family is a minimal, totally acoustic group with guitar, hand percussion, and banjo. They have a serious focus on lyrical content and sometimes achieve a body-shivering vocal harmony. They make music of resistance to oppression and empire, of communities of hope, and of a faith that sustains us. Our tunes draw from R&B, spiritual, soul, folk/americana, chant, hip-hop, and jazz. ... more
