《Blessed Are Those Who Struggle》歌词

[00:00:00] Blessed Are Those Who Struggle - The Last Poets

[00:00:02] Blessed are those who struggle

[00:00:04] Oppression is worse than the grave

[00:00:07] Better to die for a noble cause

[00:00:09] Than to live and die a slave

[00:00:12] Blessed are those who struggle

[00:00:14] Oppression is worse than the grave

[00:00:17] Better to die for a noble cause

[00:00:19] Than to live and die a slave

[00:00:22] Blessed are those who courted death

[00:00:24] Who offered their lives to give

[00:00:27] Who dared to rebel rather than serve

[00:00:29] To die so that we might live

[00:00:32] Blessed are those who struggle

[00:00:34] Oppression is worse than the grave

[00:00:37] Better to die for a noble cause

[00:00:39] Than to live and die a slave

[00:00:42] Blessed are those who took up arms

[00:00:45] And dared to face our foes

[00:00:47] Nat Turner Vesey Gariel Chinque

[00:00:50] To mention a few names we know

[00:00:52] Blessed are those who struggle

[00:00:55] Oppression is worse than the grave

[00:00:57] Better to die for a noble cause

[00:01:00] Than to live and die a slave

[00:01:02] Blessed are the memories of those

[00:01:04] Who were there at the Harper's Ferry Raid

[00:01:07] Strong were their hearts noble their cause

[00:01:10] And great was the price they paid

[00:01:12] Blessed are those who struggle

[00:01:15] Oppression is worse than the grave

[00:01:17] Better to die for a noble cause

[00:01:20] Than to live and die a slave

[00:01:22] Blessed are the voices of those who stood up

[00:01:24] And cried out Let us be free

[00:01:27] Douglas and Garvey and Sojourner Truth

[00:01:30] Dubois and Drew All

[00:01:32] Blessed are those who struggle

[00:01:35] Oppression is worse than the grave

[00:01:37] Better to die for a noble cause

[00:01:40] Than to live and die a slave

[00:01:42] Blessed are the giants that we have loved

[00:01:45] And lost to the bullet's sting

[00:01:47] Like Malcolm and Medgar and the Panthers who fell

[00:01:50] And Martin Luther King

[00:01:52] Blessed are those who struggle

[00:01:55] Oppression is worse than the grave

[00:01:57] Better to die for a noble cause

[00:02:00] Than to live and die a slave

[00:02:02] And blessed are the bodies of those

[00:02:04] Who were hung from the limbs of the sycamore tree

[00:02:07] Who found end to their hope at the end of a rope

[00:02:09] 'Cause they dared to attempt to be free

[00:02:12] Blessed are those who struggle

[00:02:15] Oppression is worse than the grave

[00:02:17] Better to die for a noble cause

[00:02:19] Than to live and die a slave

[00:02:22] Up through the years we've continued this fight

[00:02:24] Our liberty to attain

[00:02:27] And though we have faced insurmountable odds

[00:02:29] Yet the will to resist remains

[00:02:32] Blessed are those who struggle

[00:02:34] Oppression is worse than the grave

[00:02:37] Better to die for a noble cause

[00:02:39] Than to live and die a slave

[00:02:42] Blessed are the spirits of those who have died

[00:02:44] In the prisons all over this land

[00:02:47] Who committed one sin they stood up like men

[00:02:49] And got iced for just being a man

[00:02:52] Blessed are those who struggle

[00:02:54] Oppression is worse than the grave

[00:02:57] Better to die for a noble cause

[00:02:59] Than to live and die a slave

[00:03:02] Blessed all you who will join with us now

[00:03:04] In this struggle of life and death

[00:03:06] So that freedom and peace will be more than a word

[00:03:09] To the offspring that we have left

[00:03:12] Blessed are those who struggle

[00:03:14] Oppression is worse than the grave

[00:03:16] Better to die for a noble cause

[00:03:19] Than to live and die a slave

[00:03:21] Blessed are those who struggle

[00:03:24] Oppression is worse than the grave

[00:03:26] Better to die for a noble cause

[00:03:28] Than to live and die a slave

[00:03:31] Blessed are those who struggle

[00:03:34] Oppression is worse than the grave

[00:03:36] Better to die for a noble cause

[00:03:38] Than to live and die a slave
