Lyrics When Will We All Be Free - 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
Feeling we have no clout
Gods, they say it's better that way
Keep us going from hand to mouth

Chorus:
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?

Politicians run to the altar of gold
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

(Chorus)

We've only dreamed of what we can be
Hardly seen the color of angels
When will we open our hearts to sing?
Let the stars fall out and let's begin

Life is for living, and living is for loving
Loving is for giving if we can be free

(Chorus)

When will we all be free?
When will we all be free?
