Subject: Lyr Add: WE SHALL BE FREE (G Brooks, S Davis)
We Shall Be Free       Written by: Garth Brooks, Stephanie Davis

This ain't comin' from no prophet,
Just an ordinary (wo)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
