Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hang on to the world as it spins around

Just don't let the spin, get you down

Things are movin' fast

Hold on tight and you will last

[Verse 2]

Keep your self-respect, your manly pride

Get yourself in gear

Keep your stride

Never mind your fears

Brighter days will soon be here

Take it from me, someday we'll all be free, yeah

Keep on walkin' tall

Hold your head up high

Lay your dreams right up to the sky

Sing your greatest song

And you'll keep goin', goin' on

[Verse 3]

Take it from me, someday we'll all be free

Hey, just wait and see, some day we'll all be free, yeah

Take it from me, someday we'll all be free

It won't be long, take it from me, someday we'll all be free

Take it from me, take it from me, take it from me

Take it from me, hey, take it from me

Someday we'll all be free
