You know it's frightening when you really just
Have a chance to sit back and just check what's going on around you
And it's sad, you know, when you
You think about the value that people put on life
The values that they out on love
The emphasis they put on hate
No one wants to relate
Hang, hang on to the world
As it spins around, yes sir
Just don't, oh, don't
Oh, don't let it get you down
Don't let it get you down
Just because things are moving fast
But here's what y'all got to do
Hold on tight, you, you will last
Take it from me
Someday (somebody)
Lord said that we'll be free
Oh, yeah
Keep, keep, keep your self-respect
And your manly pride
You gotta get yourself in gear
Get yourself in gear
Oh, keep your stride
Never, never, never, never, never
Never mind your fears
Oh, brighter days will soon, soon be here
Keep, keep, keep your self-respect
And your manly pride
Why don't you gotta get yourself in gear
Get yourself in gear
Oh, keep your stride
Sing your great song
Oh, oh, and you keep on, keep holdin' on
Just take it from me
Someday (someday)
Lord, Lord, Lord, we got to be free
(Someday)
Tell you what I see
We got to be free
(We will all be free)
Oh, yeah
(Someday)
Hang on to the world as it spins around
(We will all be free)
You can't
(Someday)
You just can't let it get you down
(We will all be free)
Just because things are moving fast
(Someday)
Hold on tight
And you will last
(We will all be free) I know you will
But you got to keep your self-respect
(Someday)
And your manly pride
Get yourself in gear
(We will all be free)
Keep your stride
Never, never, never, never mind your fears (someday)
