None of us Are Free




"You better listen my brother
cause if you do, you can hear
there are voices still calling across the years-

and they're cryin' cross the ocean
and they are cryin' cross the land
and they will, 'till we all come to understand

none of us are free, none of us are free
none of us are free, if one of us is chained-
none of us are free

when there are people in darkness, and babies can't see the light
and if we don't say it's wrong - then that says it's right
said we got to feel for each other, let our brothers know we care
got to get the message, send it out all loud and clear

none of us are free, none of us are free
none of us are free, if one of us is chained-
none of us are free

it's a simple truth, we all need to see
none of us are free, if one of us is chained-
none of us are free

well i swear to you salvation, isn't to hard to find
none of us can find it on our own
we got to join together, in spirit, heart and mind
so ever soul who's suffering, knows their not alone...

If you just look around you, your gonna see what i say
cause the world is getting smaller each passing day
now it's time to start making changes, and it's time fo us all to realize
the truth is shining bright before our eyes

it's a simple truth, we all need to see
none of us are free, if one of us is chained-
none of us are free"
