Freedom For The Stallion
Seeking Redemption: Unveiling the Poignant Plea for Freedom in Lee Dorsey's Anthem
Lyrics
Freedom for the stallion
Advocating liberty or independence for the stallion
Freedom for the mare and her colt
Advocating freedom for the mare and her young horse
Freedom for the baby child
Advocating freedom for infants who cannot vote yet
Who has not grown old enough to vote
Expressing concern for the young who lack a say in governance
Lord, have mercy, what you gonna do about the people who are praying to you?
Raising a plea to address those praying for assistance
They got men making laws that destroy other men,
Highlighting lawmakers causing harm to others through legislation
They've made money "God"
Describing the elevation of money to a divine status
It's a doggone sin,
Deeming this elevation of money as a significant wrongdoing
Oh, Lord, you got to help us find the way
Requesting divine guidance to discover a path forward
Big ship's a-sailing, slaves all chained and bound,
Depicting a large ship carrying enslaved individuals
Heading for a brand new land that some cat said he upped and found
Referencing a voyage to a new land claimed by someone
Lord, have mercy, what you gonna do about the people who are praying to you?
Reiterating the plea for divine intervention for those praying
They got men making laws that destroy other men,
Reiterating the negative impact of legislation on people
They've made money "God"
Reiterating the concept of money being equated with divinity
It's a doggone sin
Reiterating the wrongful nature of this association
Oh, Lord, you got to help us find the way
Requesting divine assistance to find a solution
Some sing a sad song
Describing some singing mournful songs
Some got to moan the blues
Highlighting others expressing sorrow through blues music
Trying to make the best of a home
Discussing making the best of a situation not chosen
That the man didn't even get to choose
Describing a lack of control over one's living conditions
Lord, have mercy, how you gonna be with people like John and me
Questioning divine presence amidst difficult circumstances
They've got men building fences to keep other men out
Pointing out the construction of barriers to exclude others
Ignore him if he whispers and kill him if he shouts
Highlighting the disregard for those trying to communicate
Oh, Lord, you got to help us find the way
Reiterating the plea for divine guidance for assistance
Oh, Lord, you got to help them find the way
Extending the plea for divine guidance for others
Oh, Lord, you got to help us find the way
Reiterating the request for divine assistance
