This ain't coming from no prophet
Just an ordinary man
When I close my eyes I see the way this world should 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
The 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
We shall be free
We shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight and walk proud
Because we shall be free
We're free to love anyone we choose
This world's big enough for all different views
When we all can worship from our own kind of views
Then we shall be free yeah
We shall be free
We shall be free
Have a little faith and 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 on
We shall be free
Oh we shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight
Have a little faith walk proud
We shall be free
Oh we shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight walk proud
We shall be free
We shall be free
We shall be free
