The world is cold and times are bad
Every time I think about it, it makes me sad
War and drugs are everywhere
And it`s getting so hard to breathe the air
But it doesn't have to be like this
All the rancor and bitterness
If we can just open our eyes
We can make this world a paradise

Someday
We`ll live as one family in perfect harmony
Someday
If we all pull together we will all be free

Someday (someday!) [x3]
Free from the pressure and the prejudice
(Free from oppression and prejudice) 
We can change it all with tenderness
There`ll be no void between black and white
We`ll be able to walk the streets at night
I won`t be fooled while someone dies of starvation
The whole world will be my nation
We will walk hand in hand
I`ll go to South Africa and be called woman

Someday
We`ll live as one family in sweet harmony
Someday
If we all pull together we will all be free

Mmmm, someday
We`ll all be free - mmmm, you and me
Someday (someday!) [x3]
We will all be free, (someday) free, free!

Someday!
I want to be
Someday!
Free!
Someday!
Free!
Someday! [x2]
Someday! (someday) [x2]
Someday!

Someday we`ll all be free...[x2]
Hmm
Someday [x6]
We`ll all be free... 
Hey I want to be free, free, free!

There`ll be no ghettos, no addiction
All today`s troubles will seem like fiction
We will walk hand-in-hand
I`ll go to South Africa and be called woman

Someday (someday!) [x2]
Hey, I want to be
Someday (someday!)
Free!
Someday...
[repeat to end]
