Liberation Song (Red, Black And Green) by Gil Scott-Heron


Green) Lyrics :

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

If you've seen the red blood of your people

All you've got to do it

Reach out your hand and we'll take you there

Red stands for liberation

Red

 

I see the blackness of winter

I see death lurking in the trees

Yeah I see the blackness of winter

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 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

Comin' 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 seems 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 cause

Green stands for liberation

Green

 

There are three colors on our flag now brother

One red one black and there's one green

There are three colors on our flag now sister

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 singin' 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

 

Talkin' bout red

Yes and black

We're talkin' 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
