about

"Love is contraband in Hell, cause love is an acid that eats away bars. But you, me, and tomorrow hold hands and make vows that struggle will multiply... We are pregnant with freedom. We are a conspiracy."

- Assata Shakur, a black, civil-rights activist

“Assata: An Autobiography”, p.145, Zed Books, (1987)

lyrics

Rebel,
you're called to be a free
in an Age ruled by selfishness
and life has a fee
Rebel,
you're called to be brave
Dare to fight with compassion when
they stoop to hate

Rebel,
you're called to rebel
break the laws of this Age

Oh, Rebel

Rebel,
you were made by his wind
and where the Spirit of Jesus is
freedom will reign
Rebel,
let Truth be your guide
and your kindness your weapon to
rage at the night

Rebel,
You're called to rebel
break the laws of this Hell

Oh, Rebel

Love is contraband in Hell
it eats at bars of prison cells
Pregnant with his freedom song
we’re a living conspiracy

Have you heard your captain’s call?
Invitation’s sent to all
to join in his campaign to heal,
restore, and deliver

Rebel,
you’re called into joy,
into radical grace and rest,
justice for all
Rebel,
let Love be the spark
that ignites us like candles to
light up the dark

Rebel,
come join in the song
of a kingdom to come

Oh Rebel
