Title: We Shall Be Free

This ain't comin'
From no prophet
Just an ordinary man
When I close my eyes
I see the way
This world shall be
When we all walk
Hand in hand
When the last child
Cries for a crust of bread
When the last man dies
For just words that he said
When there's shelter
Over the poorest head
We shall be free

When the last thing
We notice is
The colour of skin
And the first thing
We look for is
The beauty within
When the skies and
The oceans are clean again
Then we shall be free

We shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight,
Walk proud
'Cause we shall be free
When we're free to
Love anyone we choose
When this world's big enough
For all different views
When we all can worship
From our own kind of pew
Then we shall be free
We shall be free

We shall be free
Have a little faith
Hold out
'Cause we shall be free

And when money talks
For the very last time
And nobody walks
A step behind
When there's only one race
And that's mankind
Then we shall be free

We shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight,
Walk proud,
Have a little faith,
Hold out
We shall be free

We shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight,
Have a little faith

We shall be free

Title: Raise Your Hands

Stand up and get ready for what's coming
Stand up breathe in
Check your eyes it's about us
Mother nature don't lie Its about us
Stand up breathe in

There's a place in space the captive like to go
And I been sleeping on it way to long
I'm coming home

And if you're tired and waiting for the sun
Raise your hands
To shed a little light on everything you've done
Raise your hands
If you're stuck under a rock and you want to roll
I know where to take you if you want to go
Raise your hands

Now I've been down before and I'll be down again
And I'll be damned if I wont need a true friend
Not the kind that's always got to give advice
The kind with love, I just need someone who's nice to me
Do you know what its like to be so down that up
Ain't in sight
Now if your with me let me see you stand up and raise your hands

(Chorus)
I'll carry you, you carry me
I got to be wrong sometimes
Teach me how to be strong sometimes
I'll stand for you, you stand for me
Oh I know that I can count on you
Never let the sun set down on you
I love you

And if you're tired and waiting for the sun
Reach on up and grab it

(Chorus)

I said I know where to take you if you want to go
Raise your hands
Come on I know where to take you if you want to go
Raise your hands
