Hymn of Freedom
This is a video of the Oscar Peterson Trio live in Denmark in 1964. I love the infusion of jazz and the feel of gospel. This is a composition of his that well may be one of his best. This would have been during the civil rights movement. The lyrics are below. Enjoy!
When every heart joins every heart and together yearns for liberty
That's when we'll be free
When every hand joins every hand and together molds our destiny
That's when we'll be free
Any hour any day, the time soon will come when men will live in dignity
That's when we'll be free, we will be
When every man joins in our song and together singing harmony
That's when we'll be free
