FREEDOM WAYS BY ANTHONY CHARLES BLAKE

I saw my distance

It was my miles in journeys

Blisters on feet like sores

My struggles provided understanding

They prepared me in what to expect

My tears previously flowed like water falls

The thought of my fellow Slaves who died

But I stayed focused in knowing what God who provide

No matter how hot the sun became

Freedom was going to be my aim

The thought never entered my mind that I may not make it

I knew it was going to be a battle, and I couldn’t change the world’s thinking

My inspiration had to continue being sustaining

Deep in my heart, I couldn’t let the world change my spirit

I had to be determined

Blockades were everywhere

Echoes of preserver within

Escaping through rivers was my only chance

My freedom was how I would advance

Yet a voice from Heaven saying, “Push On”

Your freedom will come

It was assurance

It took all of my endurance

Teach your people God’s guidance

I gave you wisdom

Understanding directly from the kingdom

You are free

No longer anyone’s slave

Freedom ways has started

Go and be free

The Sun will guide you to your next journey

Free at last
