I'd sing more about moral of this land   But all God's children ain't free   I'd open up every door I can   'Cause all God's children ain't free      I met a beaten broken man   He shovels dirt but got no land   And he held out his hand to me   All God's children ain't free      I'd sing along too, a silly song   But all God's children ain't free   I'm gonna sing the blues for the men they done wrong   'Cause all God's children ain't free      Mister, how about the man you condemn to die?   But taking everything that he's livin' by      And reject him from society   All God's children ain't free   No, reject him from society   All God's children ain't free      I'd be happy walking any street   But all God's children ain't free   I'd have a smile for all I meet   But all God's children ain't free      I'd whistle down the road but I wouldn't feel right   I'd hear somebody cryin' out at night      From a sharecropper shack or penitentiary   All God's children ain't free   From a sharecropper shack or penitentiary   All God's children ain't free
