I will run for freedom
Give my life for freedom
Swing low sweet chariot
Coming to take me home
Swing low sweet chariot
Coming to take me home
Born into slavery but that couldn't keep her down
It was her destiny to bring freedom to the bound
Risk taker, journey maker, no matter the cost
Rule breaker, earth shaker, on the journey no soul was lost
Freedom was her right and freedom is what Harriet Tubman would have
But she didn't forget about others on her path
To her, freedom was empty unless she could share it with the people she loved
It was her friends and family she was thinking of
She put her freedom at risk to go back and liberate others
From the captivity and unjust treatment they suffered
Despite the risk and the intense pressure
She made multiple trips down south to free her people from the oppressor
Everything she did and as far as the numbers go
She probably did more than we will ever truly know
I will run for freedom
Give my life for freedom
Swing low sweet chariot
Coming to take me home
Swing low sweet chariot
Coming to take me home
Harriet Tubman is the most recognized symbol of the Underground Railroad
With conductors, abolitionists, religious leaders and secret codes
It wasn't really a railroad and it wasn't underground
It was a secret network that helped escaped slaves get around
Safely and out of sight
It was a risky task for all involved in this fight
Met with more challenges after the Fugitive Slave Act
But conductors kept working to stay on the symbolic track
After trying for years, she had almost saved all of her family
Her sister was the last
But when she arrived to retrieve her, she found she had passed
It seemed as if the trip was for nothing
But I imagine like Denzel, she said "I'm leaving here with something"
In what would be her last trip of the Underground Railroad
She ended up leading another family to freedom, giving them new hope
Harriet Tubman a woman filled with determination
Her tenacity, her courage, her strength, her life changed a nation
I will run for freedom
Give my life for freedom
Swing low sweet chariot
Coming to take me home
Swing low sweet chariot
Coming to take me home
Swing low sweet chariot
Swing low sweet chariot
Swing low sweet chariot
Swing low sweet chariot
Swing low sweet chariot
Coming to take me home
Swing low sweet chariot
Come on and take me home
I will run for freedom
I will fight for freedom (yeah)
Oooooooooooh
Run for freedom
Risk my life for freedom
I will fight for freedom
I will run for freedom (yeah)
Fight for freedom
Risk my life for freedom
Give my life for freedom
Oooooooooooh
Oh-oh
I'm free
