There's nowhere you go and overstand
So run away, come away from the land of the sinking sand
In Babylon land

Hear the son of the Black Nation
It's a heavy burden that we're bearing
The hotter the battle, the sweeter Jah victory
What is wrong goes around all day long
Living in sin, crying all day long
For freedom, for freedom, for freedom
Freedom, we want to be free!

Son of the Black Nation
Freedom! We gotta be free of the sinking sand
We gotta run away now
Colour of the skin is dark and brown
Listen to the song we sing
It carries a sad and mournful sound
Run away run away
Freedom! We gotta be free!
Son of the Black Nation
