[Intro]
(Some, someday) Someday
Someday we'll all, we'll all be free
(Someday) Some, some, someday
Someday, we'll all, we sure gon' be free
(Freedom) One of these hard days
One of these hard days
We gon' all be free, yeah (Someday)
Someday [? :55]
(Someday) Yeah
One of these hard, hard days
One of these hard days
One of these hard days (One of these days)
One of thеse hard days
Lord, we gonna be free (Freedom)
Whеrever the Lord decree
Wherever the Lord decree
We gon' be free, oh, yes, we will
I'm standing here to tell you, Lord
Mm-mm-mm, yeah
Oh, oh-oh, hey (Freedom)

[Verse 1]
Oh-oh
Free
Hang on to the world as it spins around
Just don't let the spin get you down
Things are moving fast
Hold on tight and you will last
Keep your self-respect and your woman and manly pride
Get yourself in gear, keep your stride
Never mind your fears
Never mind 'em, never mind
Brighter days will soon be here
[Chorus]
Take it from me, someday, we'll all be free (Free)
Woah-oh, take it from me, someday, we'll all be free (Free)

[Break]
Hold on the world

[Verse 2]
You got to be free to be yourself
Keep on walking tall
Hold your head up high
Lay your dreams right up to the sky
And sing, sing your greatest song (Sing)
Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
And you'll keep going on

Take it from me, someday, we'll all be free, yeah (Free)
Take it from me, someday, we'll all be free (Free)
Mm-mm-mm
We'll all be free, yeah
(Take it from me, someday, we'll all be free)
(Free, every chain will be broken) Every chain will be broken
Free, someday, we'll all be free
[? 6:42]
Ooh yeah, we'll all be free
(Free, every chain will be broken) Every chain will be broken
It won't be long, take it from me, someday we'll all be free
Take it from me, we'll all be free, yeah
[?]
(Someday, we'll all be free)
(Free, every chain will be broken) Chains of discrimination, oh, yeah
We gon' be free ([? 7:28])
Oh, [?]
(Someday, we'll all be free) Yes, I'm telling you we gon' be free
(Free, every chain will be broken) Every chain, chain of double standards
We'll all, all be free ([?])
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah (Free, every chain will be broken)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
