Heard the news from a whispering tree
This is the time when man must be freed
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 the 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, oi, children, oh
Mercenary was built for freedom
The good Lord said, "Son, you're a free, man"
I'm gonna talk that freedom talk
Now, let me see you walk 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 the time when man must be freed
No more burning in vain
All them loses we've got to gain
Get ready, children
Get ready, children
Get ready, children
Get ready, oh, children
Oh, yeah
Ready for children
Get ready, children
Get ready, children
Get ready, oh, children, oh
Get ready, children
Get ready, children
Get ready
