We Shall Be Free
¸ð˹²¼Â³¿Ë˹ Garth Brooks Lyrics

This ain't comin' from no prophet,
I am not claiming to have special divine knowledge or insight.

Just an ordinary man.
I am just an average person with no special powers or privileges.

When I close my eyes,
In my mind's eye or imagination,

I see the way this world shall be
I envision a better future for humanity.

When we all walk hand in hand.
When we all work together in harmony and unity.

When the last child cries for a crust of bread,
When no child goes hungry or suffers from poverty.

When the last man dies for just words that he said,
When people do not face persecution or punishment for expressing their thoughts or beliefs.

When there's shelter over the poorest head,
When housing is available and affordable for everyone, regardless of their financial status.

We shall be free.
We will have achieved true freedom and equality for all.

When the last thing we notice is the color of the skin,
When we stop judging people based on their ethnicity or skin color.

And the first thing we look for is the beauty within;
When we appreciate and value people for their inner qualities, such as their kindness and compassion.

When the skies and the oceans are clean again,
When we take better care of our environment and reduce pollution.

Then we shall be free.
Only then will we have achieved true freedom and harmony.

We shall be free, we shall be free.
Reiterating the idea that we will overcome our struggles and achieve freedom.

Stand straight, walk proud,
Be confident and self-assured in ourselves and our achievements.

'Cause we shall be free.
We will have overcome our struggles and achieved true freedom.

When we're free to love anyone we choose,
When we can love without judgement or discrimination, regardless of gender or orientation.

When this world's big enough for all different views,
When we can accept and appreciate different opinions and beliefs without conflict.

When we all can worship from our own kind of pew,
When we can practice our religion or beliefs without fear of persecution or judgment.

We shall be free.
We will have achieved true freedom and equality for all.

Have a little faith, hold out,
Reminding us to remain optimistic and hopeful, even in difficult or uncertain times.

And when money talks for the very last time,
When wealth or financial power no longer dictates social or political influence.

And nobody walks a step behind;
When all individuals and groups have equal opportunities and rights.

When there's only one race,
When we stop seeing each other as different or separate based on racial identity.

And that's mankind, then we shall be free.
When we see each other as fellow human beings, united in our shared experience of life, only then will we have achieved true freedom.

Stand straight, (walk proud,)
Be confident and self-assured in ourselves and our achievements.

(Have a little faith,) walk proud,
Reminding us to remain optimistic and hopeful, even in difficult or uncertain times.

'Cause we shall be free.
We will have overcome our struggles and achieved true freedom.
