look a new day is dawning
Wake up, wake up, the table will turn,
and the rule of oppression
the rule of oppression will fade away,
and we'll do the victory dance.
When liberation do come our way
When the children are free to play
We'll do the victory dance
When liberation do come our way
When the children are free to play
The sun will shine so bright
In the African continents
And we'll feel the redemption
Lord, there'll be no limits
We'll do the victory dance
When liberation do come our way,
Sing those freedom songs,
When the children are free to fly,
When liberation come our way
When the children are free to play
We can't sleep or slumber
In a time like this, oh no
Forget your luggage and load
Cause this is our only chance
An d this is our only train
We'll do the big street dance
When liberation do come our way
We sing those freedom songs
Now the children are free to play
I'm telling you, do the big three things
When liberation do come our way
We sing those freedom songs
When the children are free to play
look a new day is dawning
Arise, yes, arise and behold your
Yeah, the table will turn,
An d the rule of oppression
Yes, the rule of oppression
And we'll do the victory dance
When liberation do come our way,
we'll sing those freedom songs.
When the children are free to play,
we'll do the big tree dance.
When liberation do come our way...
