Ella’s Song Songtext
von Emily Elbert

We who believe in freedom cannot rest
We who believe in freedom cannot rest until it comes
Until the killing of black men
Black mother′s sons
Is as important as the killing of a white man
White mother's sons

We who believe in freedom cannot rest (Cannot rest)
We who believe in freedom cannot rest until it comes
The older I get the better I know that
The secret of my going on
Is when the reigns are in the hands of the young
Who dare to run against the storm

To me young people come first
They have the courage where we fail
And if I can shed some light
As they carry us through the camp


Struggling myself don′t mean a whole lot
I've come to realise
That teaching others to stand up and fight's
The only way my struggle survives

I′m a woman who speaks in their voice
And I must be heard
At times I can be quite difficult
I bow to no man′s word

We who believe in freedom cannot rest (Cannot rest)
We who believe in freedom cannot rest until it comes
Not needing to clutch for power
Not needing the light just to shine on me
I need to be just one in a number
As we stand against tyranny

We who believe in freedom cannot rest (Cannot rest)
We who believe in freedom cannot rest until it comes

We who believe in freedom cannot rest
We who believe in freedom cannot rest until it comes
