One Day We Will All B Free Songtext
von Prince

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 Bannaker 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′ll all be free
One day, one day we'll all be free (yes we will, yes we will)
One day, one day (one day, one glorious day) we will all be free


(Talking 'bout you, talking ′bout me) one day, one day we′ll all be free
One day, one day, we will all be, all be
