lyrics

Storyteller tell me a story from back in the day
When Panthers roamed
in search of a little taste of freedom

Tell me about Che and the way
he declined a desk job in favor of the spread of revolution
Crossing borders, Making waves
Spreading hope until his dying day

Set up to take a fall
Stay strong Geronimo
Don’t let them keep you in hobbles
After the chain is gone, Stay free in your mind
Geronimo’s free

Storyteller what if the man is you
Who finds himself on death row
Hanging on by a thread
It’s a technicality but it still means a lot to me

Storyteller what if the woman is you?
Ramona knows the story
Of Mumia Abu Jamal
But then again, somewhere
Don’t we all?

Set up to take a fall
Stay strong Mumia
Don’t let them keep you in hobbles
After the chain is gone
Stay free in your mind
Mumia stay free

Storyteller talk to me
Of history repealing itself again
inspire me with reminders
of struggles that have come and gone struggles come and gone

Set up to take a fall
Stay strong one and all
Don’t let them keep you in hobbles
After the chain gone
Stay free in our mind
You’ve got to be free
