[Intro – soft, layered voices] When will I be free…? When will I be free…? (voices rising) The question remains… [Verse 1 – Past] Little girl in the fields, singing to the sky Chains on her hands, but her hope won’t die She hums to the heavens, soft as a plea: “When will freedom come for me?” [Chorus – gospel call & response] 🎵 The question remains (remains!) Through the blood and the chains (the chains!) From the cries in the night (the night!) To the marches for rights (for rights!) We keep singing the same— 🎵 The question remains… [Verse 2 – Jim Crow / Voting Rights] Grandpa dressed up, Sunday best to the polls Turned him away, said “boy, you can’t vote” He stood tall, with his pride still whole Asking the same thing, heart and soul [Chorus – stronger, layered voices] 🎵 The question remains (remains!) Through the struggle and pain (the pain!) Every step, every fight (every fight!) Every tear in the night (the night!) We keep singing the same— 🎵 The question remains… [Verse 3 – Civil Rights to Now] On Selma’s bridge, blood dark on the ground Still they walked on, still freedom’s sound And today we march with hands in the air Different time, same cry, still unfair [Bridge – spoken over harmony] Freedom isn’t free—it’s the cost we bear Carried on backs bent down in prayer Each generation still holds the flame But even now—the question remains [Final Chorus – full gospel power] 🎵 The question remains (remains!) Through the fire and rain (the rain!) We march, we rise (we rise!) With hope in our eyes (our eyes!) Still the cry is the same— 🎵 The question remains… [Outro – fading voices] When will I be free…? When will we be free…? (whispered) The question remains.
Lyrics
When will I be free…? When will I be free…?
(voices rising) The question remains…
Little girl in the fields, singing to the sky
Chains on her hands, but her hope won’t die
She hums to the heavens, soft as a plea:
“When will freedom come for me?”
The question remains (remains!)
Through the blood and the chains (the chains!)
From the cries in the night (the night!)
To the marches for rights (for rights!)
We keep singing the same—
The question remains…
Grandpa dressed up, Sunday best to the polls
Turned him away, said “boy, you can’t vote”
He stood tall, with his pride still whole
Asking the same thing, heart and soul
The question remains (remains!)
Through the struggle and pain (the pain!)
Every step, every fight (every fight!)
Every tear in the night (the night!)
We keep singing the same—
The question remains…
On Selma’s bridge, blood dark on the ground
Still they walked on, still freedom’s sound
And today we march with hands in the air
Different time, same cry, still unfair
Freedom isn’t free—it’s the cost we bear
Carried on backs bent down in prayer
Each generation still holds the flame
But even now—the question remains
The question remains (remains!)
Through the fire and rain (the rain!)
We march, we rise (we rise!)
With hope in our eyes (our eyes!)
Still the cry is the same—
The question remains…When will I be free…? When will we be free…?
(whispered) The question remains.
