We Shall Be Free Lyrics

 (Stephanie Davis, Garth Brooks) 

 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, 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, have a little faith 

 We shall be free
