Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Once there was a man and he lived to sing the lion's song
As he traveled on the road of hope
One love is the light shining over every mountaintop
It will lead us to the higher ground
[Verse 2]
One day every heart will beat strong against the night
Let it be done right now
[Verse 3]
Once there was a man and his words became a song of love
And his song became the golden dream
One love is the light shining over everyone that believes
It will lead us to the higher ground
[Verse 4]
One day every eye will see truth before the light
Let it be done right now
[Verse 5]
Some wait so long
Because our love is strong
This hard road traveled on
Will lead us home
Forever
[Verse 6]
Hear the lion's song, voices cryin' like a desert wind
Yeah, he's gone unto his father's land
Africa tonight, for we truly are one in our hearts
Colors woven in the golden dream
[Verse 7]
One day every eye will see truth before the light
Let it be done right now
One day every voice will speak strong against the night
Let us be one right now
So let it be
[Verse 8]
We are the children of a thousand days
We are the people of the hard rain
We are the children of a thousand days
We are the people of the hard rain
We are the people of the hard rain
