Lyrics
There is a land beyond the stars where those who overcome go Where there’s no sickness, hunger or wars and peaceful waters flow. . . Come on everybody sing out Martin’s song We all need help from above if we want’ta overcome From daughters of truth an’ justice and sons of liberty Ask not for who the bell tolls, freedom’s bell tolls for you an’ me Take the peaceful easy doorway to freedom on liberty mountain Come on up to liberty mountain, take a little drink from freedom’s fountain Good news splashed on the doorpost written in crimson, “Everybody’s welcome” Take God’s forgiving doorway to freedom on liberty mountain Come on everybody sing out Rosa’s song We all need help from above if we want’ta overcome From daughters of truth an’ justice and sons of liberty Ask not for who the bell tools, freedom’s bell tolls for you an’ me Take the peaceful easy doorway to freedom on liberty mountain Come on up to liberty mountain, take a little drink from freedom’s fountain Good news splashed on the doorpost written in crimson, “Everybody’s welcome” Take God’s forgiving doorway to freedom on liberty mountain Have a drink of free wine from the Jesus fountain on liberty mountain
