A modern day Moses, waking the streets
With shouts of glory, blistered feet
He's met the maker, he's met the reason he's alive
and he's on fire inside.

A modern day mother, living in the slums;
feeding the hungry, making sure the race gets run-
Always asking if we fought with steady feet
She fights on her knees.

Let my people go. 
Let my people go.
Let my people go.
Let my people go.

A modern day Martin, in a world of civil words exchange
But dreaming bigger...thinks maybe he could make a change.
He's heard the stories, he wants some of his own,
and he's not alone.

Let my people go.
Let my people go.
Let my people go.
Let my people go. 

The time is not the moments here; walk in faith, or stand in fear
Change the course of history. Did you ever think?
No one ever thought...who would have believed?

A modern day me. What have I become? What can I be?
If there is greatness out there to be achieved,
I want to be more than someone who just passes through this life.
I want to stand up for what is right

Let my people go. 
Let my people go...
