Find The Cost Of Freedom Day Of Reckoning (extended version)
[Intro]
Find the cost of freedom
Buried in the ground
Mother Earth will swallow you
Lay your body down
[Verse 1]
Now is the time
To take our place in history
Let it be known
It's never too late to be free
It's a destined motive heard 'round the world
(All come together as one) All come together as one
We know it can be done
(It's a testimony) It's a testimony 'heard round the world
(All come together as one) All come together as one
[Chorus]
Million voicеs whisper getting louder whеn they sing
Million spirits waiting for the day of reckoning
Hundred million more on the shores where we come from
Crying tears of joy 'cause the day of reckoning has finally come
Finally come (Finally come)
Day of reckoning has finally come
[Verse 2]
Now is the time
To question why it took so long
Let it be sung
Let the whole world hear our song
It's a testimony, sea to shining sea
(Sun's gonna shine our way) Sun's gonna shine our way
Oh, it's a brand new day
(It's a testimony) It's a testimony, sea to shining sea
(Sun's gonna shine our way) Sun's gonna shine our way
[Chorus]
When a million voices whisper getting louder when they sing
Million spirits waiting for the day of reckoning
A hundred million more on the shores where we come from
Crying tears of joy 'cause the day of reckoning has finally come
(It's finally come)
Day of reckoning has finally come (Finally come)
Day of reckoning has finally come (Has finally come)
[Verse 3]
Now is the time
To take our place in history
Let it be known
It's never too late to be free
It's a testimony (It's a testimony)
Heard 'round the world
(All come together as one) All come together as one
(And we know it can be done) We know it can be done
(It's a testimony) It's a testimony
(Heard around the world) Heard around the world
(All come together as one) All come together as one
[Chorus]
Million voices whisper getting louder when they sing
Million spirits waiting on the day of reckoning
A hundred million more on the shores where we come from
Crying tears of joy 'cause the day of reckoning has finally come
(Finally come)
Day of reckoning has finally come (Finally come)
Day of reckoning has finally come (Has finally come)
The day of reckoning has finally come
Day of reckoning (Has finally come)
[Post-Chorus]
Has finally come
Day of reckoning has finally come
(Yes, it's finally come)
It's finally come
It's finally come
It's finally come
(It's finally come)
(It's finally come)
(It's finally come) Oh
(Day of reckoning)
(It's finally come)
(It's finally come) Day of reckoning
It's finally come
[Outro]
Million voices whisper getting louder when we sing
A million spirits waiting on the day of reckoning
Hundred million more on the shores where we come from
Crying tears of joy 'cause the day of reckoning has finally come
