Heard the news from a whispering tree
This is a time when men must be free
No more burning in vain
All the loses we've got to gain
Get ready, children
Get ready, children
Get ready, children
Get ready, oh children
Didn't I build a garden
Didn't I plant the palm
Didn't my people before me
Slave for this country
Get ready, children
Get ready, children
Get ready, children
Get ready, oh children
Oh, mercenary was built for freedom
The good Lord says son, "You're a free man"
I am gonna talk that freedom talk
Now let me see that freedom walk
Get ready, children
Get ready, children
Get ready, children
Get ready, oh children
Oh yeah, heard the news from a whispering tree
This is a time when men must be free
No more burning in vain
All the loses we've got to gain
Get ready, children
Get ready, children
Get ready, children
Get ready, oh children
Get ready, children
Get ready, children
Get ready, children
Get ready, oh children
Oh get ready for children
Get ready, children
Get ready, children
Get ready, children
Get ready, oh children
Oh get ready, children
Get ready, children
Get ready, children
Get ready, oh children
