Seems as though we're living in a crazy mixed up world
When everybody's looking for an answer (Lookin' yeah)
Lend a hand to a friend
When u think that he's in trouble
They go so far as to tell you that you're wrong (mmm)
Say the world won't get no better
That we're never gonna be free
But if they only knew
That that's not the way it has to be
But I'm gonna
I'm gonna keep on believin'
Ohhh, I think I'm gonna
Take a hand
Make a friend (Oh my)
Learn to love my fellow man (I gotta learn to love, yeah)
Black or white
Rich or poor
Love can open any door (Said it really doesn't matter the color)
I know they say that it's too late (Oh yeah)
A change is gonna come (Oh my)
You wait and see (Oh one day)
Ohhh, pretty soon we're gonna be free
(Said I know... I know) (Vocalizing)
Said we're gonna be (b-ground harmony)
(Listen y'all)
Crying war they're crying peace
When will they understand?
It's all a part of a perfect master plan (Master plan)
People
Will the killing ever cease we all would like to know
And is it wrong when you hate another soul
You know it is, yeah
If we could live in harmony
This world would be a better place
You and I could recognize that we were all sinners saved by grace
Ohhh through faith
(Mmm ohhh ahhh) (think I'm gonna)
Take a hand
Make a friend (Oh my)
Learn to love my fellow man (I gotta keep on lovin' you)
Black or white
Rich or poor
Love can open any door (Gotta keep on lovin' me too) (Ohh yeah)
I know they say that it's too late (But a change)
A change is gonna come (Ya gotta wait)
You wait and see (wait and see wait and see)
Ohhh, pretty soon we're gonna be free
Said we're gonna be free
I believe with everything in me
Gonna be (b-ground)
Gonna be (leader)
Gonna be (b-ground)
Gonna be (leader)
(Leader)
Oh and when you're lost and can't find your way
Lend a hand
It can make a brighter day
And everything's gonna be okay
I wanna sing everybody, yeah
(B-ground)
Gonna be free (yeah) wait and see (Oh one day)
Oh we're gonna be free now (I know I know)
Gonna be free (yeah) wait and see (Oh yeah)
Gonna be free (mmm) (I won't stop at nothing, no I'm gonna keep on)
Take a hand
Make a friend (Taking your hand, yeah)
Learn to love my fellow man (Helping you to stand now)
Black or white
Rich or poor (Ohhh)
Love can open any door (Somebody may be down and out)
I know they say that it's too late (Oh my)
A change is gonna come (You wait and)
You wait and see (Ohhh)
