    I've seen the red sun in the autumn
    And I've seen the leaves turn to golden brown
    I've seen the red sun in the autumn
    And I've seen the leaves returning to golden brown
    I've seen the red blood of my people
    Heard them calling for freedom everywhere
    If you've seen the red blood of your people
    All you've got to do it
    Reach out your hand and we'll take you there
    Red stands for liberation
    Red

    I see the blackness of winter
    I see death lurking in the trees
    Yeah, I see the blackness of winter
    And I see death lurking in the trees
    I see the blackness of my people
    You know they're calling for freedom everywhere
    I've seen the blackness of my people
    And all you got to do,
    Brothers and sisters, reach out your hands,
    We're gonna take you there
    Black stands for liberation, yeah, aah

    I've seen the green buds in the springtime
    And somebody told me that means new life
    I've seen the green buds in the springtime
    Comin' up through the concrete
    Somebody told me they symbolize new life
    I've seen the green fields of my homeland
    And I've heard people calling for freedom everywhere
    It seems to me like if you've seen the green fields of your homeland
    Even when you dream it, you can reach out your mind
    And someone will take you there, cause
    Green stands for liberation
    Green

    There are three colors on our flag now, brother
    One red, one black, and there's one green
    There are three colors on our flag now, sister
    Can you tell your babies what they mean?
    I'm talking 'bout red and the black and green
    Want you to keep on thinking 'bout red and the black and green
    I'm gonna keep on singin' 'bout red and the black and green
    And sooner than you think the whole world's gonna know just what we mean
    When we say they stand for liberation
    They stand for liberation

    Talkin' bout red
    Yes, and black
    We're talkin' bout green
    It's more than a dream if you dig what we mean

    It stands for liberation
    It stands for a brand new nation
    It stands for liberation
    It stands for a brand new nation
    Yeah
