Lyrics
When she sang in the church choir At an early age It became clear that the world Would hear her voice from the concert stage
But in those days of segregation She faced many closed doors She sang with pride, so dignified Few had seen the likes of her before
Marian, Marian, sing us a song Sing so the whole world might hear Sing out for freedom, to right the wrongs In our hearts, your voice Your voice will be held dear
In 1925, she made her debut at town hall Throughout the next 40 years Her singing helped bring down the walls Of racial seperation She could bring tears to your eyes When she sang My Country 'Tis of Thee Its message could be realized
Marian, Marian, sing us a song Sing so the whole world might hear Sing out for freedom, to right the wrongs In our hearts, your voice Your voice will be held dear
Marian, Marian Marian, Marian
Marian, Marian, sing us a song Sing so the whole world might hear Sing out for freedom, to right the wrongs In our hearts, your voice Your voice will be held dear
