FREE AT LAST

There is this band called "Antony and the Johnsons" some of you might know certainly. Already when I first listened to their album "I'm a bird now", I was fascinated by the song FREE AT LAST.
Only last night, I let a friend of mine listen to it and as we couldn't figure out the real meaning of it I searched the internet for the lyrics.
I was very amazed after I found out that it is a gospel chant of the slaves from the earlier days and I can understand better now why it caught my attention so strongly.
Life, with it's ups and downs gives us a little challenge everyday, sometimes more and sometimes less. There are even times when you think you're caught up in a cage and you don't know why you can't free ur mind completely anymore.
As soon, though, as there is time for your mind to just be at ease you again know very well how free you really are.

Deep inside yourself, where you can meet and talk with your little Jesus, Buddha, you will always find a friend who would always listen to you.


Free at last

(North american Slaves Spiritual Chant Gospel)


Way down yonder in the graveyard walk
I thank God I'm free at last
Me and my Jesus going to meet and talk
I thank God I'm free at last

On my knees when the light pass'd by
I thank God I'm free at last
Tho't my soul would rise and fly
I thank God I'm free at last

Some of these mornings, bright and fair
I thank God I'm free at last
Goin' meet my Jesus
In the middle of the air
I thank God I'm free at last
