I see with the eyes of millions. I feel with the heart of my ancestors.  The past I know. I feel it in my soul. I dance because I’m free to dance The millions told me so. I sing with the voice of Africa And shout from the lips of America. My song is ambrosia sweet It is the song of My liberty. My chains are broken Those chains upon my spirit You see, I’m no longer in bondage My restraints are now unfettered. Some would say I’m not truly free I’m held down by mental slavery. But I know One who holds the key I know the ones who fought for me. My heart rejoices in my indulgence It is for that I sing. © 2001 Maya Edmondson
