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  Stand straight, and 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 free  Have 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 free  Stand straight, walk proud, have a little faith, hold out  We shall be free    We shall be free  We shall be free  Stand straight, stand straight, have a little faith, walk proud  We shall be free    We shall be free  We shall be free  Stand straight, walk proud  We shall be free
