This ain't comin' from no prophet Just an ordinary man When I close my eyes, I see The way this world shall beWhen 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 freeWhen 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 freeStand 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 freeHave 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 freeStand 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
