Melba Moore Lyrics

When I was a little Girl just a long time J. Rosamond Johnson,
When I was a young girl, J. Rosamond Johnson was a great influence in my life

Write a song to be sung at the exercise.
He asked me to write a song to be sung at an event or gathering

I wrote the words and he wrote the music
I came up with the lyrics and J. Rosamond Johnson composed the music for the song

And I decided Explaining that the ritual song of my lile
I wanted to share with my family and friends the song that has been a significant part of my life

This goes out all my Family and friends
I dedicate this song to all of my loved ones

(Let freedom ring in every nation) And
May the call for freedom resonate in every nation, and

Sometimes make freedom because it ring, Listen, heh
Sometimes freedom can be achieved by simply declaring it, listen to the message and meditate on its meaning

Lift every voice and sing till earth and heaven ring
Let every person raise their voice and sing until their cries for freedom echo throughout the world

Ring with the harmonies of liberty
May this song be a symbol of the harmonious struggle for freedom

Let our rejoicing rise high as the listening skies
May our celebration and joy for freedom reach the highest levels, like the skies which listen to our voices

Let it resound loud as the rolling sea
May the call for freedom be as powerful as the sound of the rolling sea

From Me to You My Sisters Let Freedom Ring
I send a message of freedom to my sisters

Let our rejoicing rise Give From Me To My Brothers
May our celebration and joy for freedom be shared with our brothers
