Heavens opened up
Rain pourin' from the sky
My arm in the air
Tryin' to flag a ride
But the cabs don't go
To my part of town
They just passed me by
Not even slowin' down
So I'm gonna walk
Until I ride
I'm gonna keep my head held high
They can try to take my freedom
They can't take my pride
I'm gonna walk, walk, walk
Until I ride
Four in the mornin
My baby child was cryin'
Fever he had
Kept on burnin' higher
Grabbed the phone
Dialed 911
When I told them where I lived
I knew they wouldn't come
So I'm gonna walk
Until I ride
Keep my head held way high
Take my freedom
Take my pride
I'm gonna walk, walk, walk
Until I ride
We're walkin' for the poor and unemployed
The hopeless and the hungry and those who have no joy
We're walkin' for the refugees and those who have no home
For every single livin' soul who feels all alone
We're gonna walk
If you ever stumble
Reach out and take my hand
We're in this life together
Til we reach the promised land
We're gonna keep on walkin
'Til our shoes wear out
Until we reach salvation
And you can hear us shout
We gonna walk
Until we ride
Keep our head, held way high
Take our freedom
Take our pride
But we gonna walk, walk, walk
Until we ride
We gonna walk, walk, walk
I'm gonna walk
Until I ride
Keep my head held way high
Take my freedom
Take my pride
I'm gonna walk, walk, walk
Until I ride
I'm gonna walk
Until I ride
Keep my head, held way high
Take my freedom
Can't take my pride
I'm gonna walk, walk, walk
Until I ride
I'm gonna walk, walk, walk
Until I ride
I'm gonna walk, walk, walk
Until I ride
