If we could see ourselves connected,
If we could see ourselves as one,
If we could see our only difference,
Is the place that we come from;

If we could know we’re all God’s children,
If we could know God has a plan,
If we could know we’re all responsible,
For every woman, child and man—
Would it be time?  Ooh…

If we could hear each other’s stories,
If we could hear each other’s prayers,
If we could hear the hope in all our hearts,
That our God is everywhere;

If we could learn to love our neighbor,
If we could learn to be their friend,
If we could learn to let the hatred go,
All the fighting could just end—
Then it’d be time!  Ooh…

Well, ain’t it time?  Ain’t it time?  Ain’t it time—
To be free?
Ain’t it time?  Ain’t it time?  Ain’t it time—
For peace to be?  (Ain’t it time? Ain’t it time?)

Well, ain’t it time?  Ain’t it time?  Ain’t it time—
To be free?
Ain’t it time?  Ain’t it time?  Ain’t it time—
For peace to be?  (Ain’t it time? Ain’t it time?)

And we will be FREE!
