Gather 'round me, children
And listen as I did when I was young
And I will tell you what was told to me
For God did not forget us
He just speaks a different tongue
Where every word's another word for free
Oh, listen to the quiet
As it wanders through the trees
Listen to the gentle evening call
Hear the way it whispers
Through the willows on a breeze
Promising Heaven for us all someday
Oh, someday
Someday
Mighty Pharaoh could not hear
What ol' Moses heard
Through the desert loud and clear
Freedom was the word
Stronger than that oak tree
When the hard winds blow
Tellin' Pharaoh, Let my people go
Moses waited patiently
Sore he was, he tried
He knew what Pharoah never knew
Faith won't be denied
So listen closely every day
I promise you will hear
All God's creatures singing loud and clear
Someday (someday)
Yes, we will all be free (we will all be free, we will all be free)
Someday (someday)
No misery
We will all be justified
At that jubilee
We're gonna raise our voices long and loud
Gonna hold our heads up strong and proud
Gonna celebrate our independence day
Yes, someday (someday)
Someday
Listen to the nightingale
Listen to his song (listen to his song)
Hear the mighty river's tale
As she rolls along (as she rolls along)
Every time the sun comes up
Shouting down the day
You can almost hear the good Lord say
Someday (someday)
We will all be free, we will all be free
Someday
From sea to shining sea
Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
All of them are free
Gonna break these chains and walk that walk
Gonna free the sparrow from the hawk
Gonna feel the rain wash all these clouds away
Someday (someday)
Through the deepest wilderness
Through the darkest night
You gotta keep on, keep on movin' towards the light
We'll all sit down at table
And bow our heads and pray
And all of us will find
You gotta dream the dream
That God is colorblind
You gotta keep the faith
And finally mankind
Is gonna be what it should be
Someday
We will all be free, we will all be free
Someday
No more misery
We will all be justified
At that jubilee
We're gonna raise our voices long and loud
We're gonna hold our heads up strong and proud
We're gonna break these chains and walk the walk
We're gonna free the sparrow from the hawk
We're gonna celebrate our independence day
Someday
Someday (Someday, we'll be free)
Someday
Someday (We will all)
Someday (all be free)
