This ain't coming 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 the crust of bread
When the last man dies for just words that he said
When there's shelter over the poorest head...
Then 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 skys and the oceans are clean again
Then we shall be free
We shall be free, we shall be free
Stand straight and walk proud
'Cause we shall be free
When we're free to love anyone we choose
And this worlds 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 no body 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
'Cause we shall be free
We shall be free, We shall be free
Stand straight, have a little faith, walk proud
'Cause we shall be free
We shall be free, we shall be free
Stand straight, walk proud
'Cause we shall be free
