When Will We All Be Free Songtext

von Karan Casey

Some people live the high life
They live like Kings and Queens
They go about all dressed up
Well encased in their dreams

Most of us go from day to day
With the feeling we have no clout
The gods they say it's better that way
To keep us going from hand to mouth

Life is for living
And living is for loving
Loving is for giving
If we can be free
When will we all be free
When will we all be free

Our politicians run to the altar of gold
To line their pockets with greed
Turning a blind eye to all around
Especially the ones in need

McDowell's welcome is naught
He builds barriers along our shores
At night he stops buses and takes people off
If they don't look anything like ours

Life is for living
And living is for loving
Loving is for giving
If we can be free
When will we all be free
When will we all be free

We've only dreamed of what we can do
We've hardly seen the colour of angels
When will we open our hearts to sing
Let the stars fall out and lets begin
