When will it be?
A world calm and free
Whenever we try
Tell me, when will it be
We all live equally
I'm willing, I'm willing to try
Won't you try
When will it be?
People together in harmony
Oh, when will it be?
When we all, we all are free
Oh, free, free
As the wind blows, no, no
Won't you give me the chance?
To make my own stance
Wherever, wherever I go
Oh, when will it be?
There'll be more love and no poverty
Whenever we try
You got to try, I got to try
When will it be, yeah?
Oh, we'll live together in harmony
Oh, when will it be?
We all are free
Oh, free, oh, free yeah
As the wind, no, no
Oh, no, no, no
Oh...
Oh, free as the wind blows
Free to do like I want to do
Free as in eagles that fly so high
Won't you let me do
What I got the strength to do
Shout it out, it's got to be free
