None of Us are Free

 

Well you better listen my sisters and brothers,
'cause if you do you can hear
there are voices still calling across the years.
And they're all crying across the ocean,
and they're crying across 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.

And there are people still in darkness,
and they just can't see the light.
If you don't say its wrong then that says its right.
We got to try to feel for each other;

let our brothers know that we care.
Got to get the message, send it out 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,

just to hear and to see:
None of us are free if one of us is chained,
None of us are free.

Now I swear your salvation isn't too hard to find,
but none of us can find it on our own.
We've got to join together

in spirit, heart and mind,
so that every soul who's suffering

will know that they're not alone.
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.

If you just look around you,
you’re 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 for us all to realize,
that the truth is shining bright right before our eyes:
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.
