Oh, it's set in 1848

Oh, it's set in 1848
in the crush of New York state.
And the thing about destiny
is it never ever makes mistakes.

Oh, Susan B. Anthony
Forever haunting me
Owned raped sold and thrown
woman was never her own

And they cried freedom, rise up for me
They cried freedom, rise up for me
Check it out

Yeah, and I want I want I want I want I want
Yeah, and I want I want I want I want I want
Yeah

Oh, it's set in 1848
in the crush of New York state.
And the thing about destiny
is it never ever sets you free.

Oh, Elizabeth Cady
Forever reminding me
I don't steal the air I breathe

Freedom, rise up for me
Freedom, rise up for me

Yeah, and I want I want I want I want I want
Yeah, and I want I want I want I want I want
Freedom, rise up for me
Freedom, rise up for me
Yeah...
