The Freedom Song (They'll Never Take Us Down) Lyrics

200 years and more
and here we are today
with freedom still our guiding light
defending it with all our might
we're never gonna change
or ever look away
we stand for freedom every day

they'll never take us down
though some may try
we gotta stand our ground
it's do or die
the freedom that we've found
can't be denied
and they can never take us down, oh no
our freedom is why

got freedom to believe
and live the way we choose
ain't that what freedom's all about?
it's something we can't ever lose
and if we go astray
let freedom be the light.
it takes us through the darkest night

they'll never take us down
though some may try
we gotta stand our ground
it's do or die
the freedom that we've found
can't be denied
our faith is like a light
that keeps us warm
it burns inside

we've come this way before
a hundred times or more
but someone's watching over us
and we believe in god we trust
but if we hold on strong
we'll make it through the night
and walk in freedom's shining light

they'll never take us down
though some may try
we gotta stand our ground
it's do or die
the freedom that we've found
can't be denied
we know without a doubt
we'll get through this
we've been through worse

they'll never take us down
not now or any day
our freedom don't come free
but it's worth the price we pay
the dream inside us all
it cannot be denied
together let us raise our freedom's flag
and let it fly

oh oh oh

never take us down
no oh no
oh no they won't
never take us down
praise our freedom now
let's praise it now
we know it's true

they'll never take us down
though some may try
we've only got to show
the reason why
our road together's made
of tears and pride
we know that they can never take us down
and freedom's why

together let us raise a freedom's flag where eagles fly
