Ooh ooh
You go to bed just to learn
It was all a dream
Day after day just a yearnin'
For something in between
Kneeling down beside your bed
Praying for a sign
And everything your mama said
Is just a waste of time

But one day, one day
We'll all be free

You go to church just to be sold
Why you deserve to die
It's just like having your fortune told
But never asking why
Or more like having one of God's creations
Tied up on a leash (uh-uh)
Makes you wonder who controls the nations
If we never had peace

One day, one day
We'll all be free
Ooh-ooh

You go to school just to learn
About what never existed
But if your history only burns
It's better to resist it
Keepin' it Franklin Benjamin ban occur
Was never born a slave
And-ah if George Washington never told no lie
Maybe we'd all be saved

One day, one day
We'll all be free

One day, one day
We'll all be free
One day, one day
We'll all be free
One day, one day
We'll all be free

One day, one day
We will all be free

One day, one day
We will all be free (oh, yes we will, yes we will)
One day, one day (one day, one glorious day)
We will all be free
One day, one day
We will all be free (talking about you, talking about me)
One day, one day
We will all be free (one day, one day, we will all be, all be free)
One day, one day
We will all be
