| This ain’t comin' from no prophet
|
| Just an ordinary man
|
| When I close my eyes I see
|
| The way this world shall be
|
| When we all walk hand in hand
|
| When the last child cries for a crust of bread
|
| When the last man dies for just words that he said
|
| When there’s shelter over the poorest head
|
| We shall be free
|
| When the last thing we notice is the color of skin
|
| And the first thing we look for is the beauty within
|
| When the skies and the oceans are clean again
|
| Then we shall be free
|
| We shall be free
|
| We shall be free
|
| Stand straight, walk proud
|
| 'Cause we shall be free
|
| When we’re free to love anyone we choose
|
| When this world’s big enough for all different views
|
| When we all can worship from our own kind of pew
|
| Then we shall be free
|
| We shall be free
|
| We shall be free
|
| Have a little faith
|
| Hold out
|
| 'Cause we shall be free
|
| And when money talks for the very last time
|
| And nobody walks a step behind
|
| When there’s only one race and that’s mankind
|
| Then we shall be free
|
| We shall be free
|
| We shall be free
|
| Stand straight, walk proud, have a little faith, hold
|
| Out
|
| We shall be free
|
| We shall be free
|
| We shall be free
|
| Stand straight, have a little faith
|
| We shall be free |
