Someday We'll All Be Free


Normally don't do this, but...excusing the line about pride, the song has a poignant, reassuring hopefulness to it.

Hang onto the world as it spins around.
Just don't let the spin get you down.
Things are moving fast.
Hold on tight and you will last.

Keep your self-respect, your manly pride.
Get yourself in gear,
Keep your stride.
Never mind your fears.
Brighter days will soon be here.
Take it from me, someday we'll all be free (yeah)

Keep on walking tall, hold your head up high.
Lay your dreams right up to the sky.
Sing your greatest song,
And you'll keep going, going on.
Take it from me, someday we'll all be free (yeah)

(Hey) Just wait and see, someday we'll all be free. (yeah)
Take it from me, someday we'll all be free.
(It won't be long) Take it from me, someday we'll all be free.
Take it from me, take it from me, take it from me.

"Someday We'll All Be Free"
Written by Edward Howard (1973)
