Stop, my brother, there's a better road
Why you want to carry that heavy load?
Everybody ought to be singin'
A freedom song

Oo, you can't even move from all that's holding you down
Chains you made yourself are keeping you bound
You've convinced yourself that peace can't be found
So why'd you let the devil inside?
It's grace that gives you freedom in life

Stop, my brother, there's a better road
Why you want to carry that heavy load?
Everybody ought to be singin'
A freedom song
You can change your world today
Why would you want it any other way?
Eveybody ought to be singin'
A freedom song
Eveybody ought to be singin'
A freedom song

There was a time when I just couldn't win
When my addictions made me a slave to my sin
I'd try to break away, but then I'd do it again, I tell
Helpless I fell down on my knees
Then the love of the Lord made me free
Made me free

Stop, my brother, there's a better road
Why you want to carry that heavy load?
Everybody ought to be singin'
A freedom song
You can change your world today
Why would you want it any other way?
Eveybody ought to be singin'
A freedom song
Eveybody ought to be singin'
A freedom, a freedom song, yeah
