Lyrics

[Verse 1] I hear the children play With the guards of the jail With the guards of the jail With the guards of the jail I'm thinking of a new name That I could give myself One day I'll be myself One day I'll be my own It's been forty long years In the desert I have been I've even hit the devil's nose In the desert I've grown [Chorus] Have a good day brother Me and your sister will rise up Like an elephant from the mud In your carefree sleep We will break free We will break free Have a good day brother Me and your little bro will rise up Like an elephant from the storm In your carefree sleep We will break free We will break free [Verse 2] And the city will be reborn And the streets will be washed May the streets be clean and washed Woah, woah oh (May the streets be clean and washed) And we will wave our hand And everybody will forgive the past And everybody will forgive the past Woah, woah (And everybody will forgive the past) [Pre-Chorus] And as the woman said That day when I was crying out God puts his diamonds in the sand But then he always takes them back [Chorus] Have a good day brother Me and your sister will rise up Like an elephant from the mud In your carefree sleep We will break free We will break free Have a good day brother You and my little bro will rise up Like an elephant from the storm In your carefree sleep We will break free We will break free Have a good day brother Me and your sister will rise up Like an elephant from the mud In your carefree sleep We will break free We will break free [Post-Chorus] Have a good Have a good day brother me And your Sister will Rise up from the mud (We will break free) (We will break free) [Outro] I'm thinking of a new name (New) That I could give myself (Aah) One day I'll be myself (Woah) I'll be my own
