We Shall Be Free

"We shall be free" G. Brooks

This ain't commin' 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...

-up tempo-

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 see is the color of skin

and the first thing we see is the beauty within

when the skies and the oceans are clean again

than we shall be free

CHORUS 1

We shall be free, we shall be free

stand straight, and walk proud

'cause we shall be free

When we're all free to love anyone we choose

when this worlds big enough for all different views

when we can all worship from our own kind of pew

than we shall be free

CHORUS 2

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's will hopes to stay behind *

and there's only one race and that's mankind

than we shall be free

CHORUS 3

We shall be free, we shall be free

stand straight and walk proud

have a little faith and hold out

we shall be free

we shall be free

stand straight! have a little faith!

walk proud! hold out!

we shall be free
