[Verse 1]
I had a little book
Was given to me
And every page
Spelled liberty

[Chorus]
All my trials, Lord
Soon be over

[Verse 2]
There is a tree
In paradise
And the pilgrims call it
The tree of life

[Chorus]
All my trials, Lord
Soon be over

[Verse 3]
But it's too late, my friend
Too late
But never mind

[Chorus]
All my trials, Lord
Soon be over
[Verse 4]
If religion were a thing
That money could buy
Then the rich would live
And the poor would die

[Chorus]
All my trials, Lord
Soon be over
All my trials, Lord
Will soon be over
