lirik lagu gil scott-heron & brian jackson - the liberation song (red, black and green)
[verse 1: gil scott-heron]
i’ve seen the red sun in the autumn
and i’ve seen the leaves turn to golden-brown
i’ve seen the red sun in the autumn, and i’ve
seen the leaves returning to golden-brown
i’ve seen the red blood of my people
heard them calling for freedom everywhere
and if you’ve seen the red blood of your people, all you’ve got to do is
reach out your hand and we’ll take you there
red stands for liberation
red, red, yeah
[verse 2: victor brown]
i see the blackness of winter
i see death lurking in the trees. yeah
i see the blackness of winter, yeah
and i see death lurking in the trees
i see the blackness of my people. you know they’re
calling for freedom everywhere
i’ve seen the blackness of my people, and all you’ve got to do
brothers and sisters, reach out your hands. we’re gonna
take you there
black stands for liberation
yeah, aah
[verse 3: gil scott-heron]
i’ve seen the green buds in the springtime
and somebody told me that means new life
i’ve seen the green buds in the springtime, coming up through the concrete
somebody told me they symbolize new life
i’ve seen the green fields of my homeland, and i’ve
heard people calling for freedom everywhere. it seemed to me like
if you’ve seen the green fields of your homeland, even when you dream it, you can
reach out your mind and someone will take you there because
green stands for liberation
green
[verse 4: gil scott-heron]
there are three colors on our flag now, brothers
one red, one black, and there’s one green
there are three colors on our flag now, sisters
can you tell your babies what they mean? i’m talking ‘bout
red and the black and green. want you to keep on thinking ‘bout
red and the black and green. i’m gonna keep on singing ‘bout
red and the black and green. and sooner than you think
the whole world’s gonna know just what we mean when we say
they stand for liberation
they stand for liberation
[verse 5: gil scott-heron]
i’m talking ‘bout
red, yes
and black. we’re talking ‘bout
green. it’s more than a dream if you dig what we mean
it stands for liberation
it stands for a brand-new nation
it stands for liberation
it stands for a brand-new nation
yeah
