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.
Verse 1
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.
Verse 2
We shall be free We shall be free
Stand strait, walk proud,
'Cause we shall be free.
Verse 3
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
And 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,
We shall be free.
We shall be free, we shall be free.
Stand straight, have a little faith.
We shall be free.
