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
Just have a little faith
And hold out
'Cause we shall be free

When we're free to love anyone we choose
When this worlds big enough for all different views
When we're all free to worship from our own kind of pew
Then we shall be free

We shall be free
We shall be free
Step straight
Walk proud
'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 thats mankind
Then we shall be free

We shall be free
We shall be free
Listen what I'm sayin to you
Cause every night and day I pray it's true,
Together
Forever
We shall be free

We Shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight,
Hold out
We shall be free

We shall be free
We shall be free
