One Day They All Will Be Gone - Musarra

I want to live in a land of lakes Where the great waves break And the night runs right into the day I wanna be with ones I left But I'm way out West And the years keep on slipping away Want to run on the sacred dunes Through the ancient ruins Where the fires of my ancestors burn I remember the fateful day when I ran away And you told me I couldn't return You made me swear I'd never forget I made a vow I'd see you again I will be back one day And I'll find you there by the great big lake I been running a long, long time Trying to flee that life But I can't seem to leave it behind Wanna visit the windswept shores of the time before When the moon and the stars were aligned I remember the bright spring day When you sparked a flame And a fire that continues to burn I remember the day I left headin' way out West When you told me to never return You made me swear I'd never forget I made a vow I'd see you again I will be back one day And I'll find you there by the great big lake I will be back one day And I'll find you there by the great big lake

Ooh, ooh You go to bed just to learn it was all a dream Day after day, just a yearnin' for something in between Kneeling down beside your bed, praying for a sign And everything your mama said is just a waste of time But one day, one day, we'll all be free You go to church just to be sold Why you deserve to die It's just like having your fortune told But never asking why Or more like having one of God's creations Tied up on a leash (uh-uh) Makes you wonder who controls the nations If we never had peace One day, one day, we'll all be free Ooh-ooh You go to school just to learn about what never existed But if your history only burns, it's better to resist it Keepin' it Franklin, Benjamin Bannaker was never born a slave And-ah, if George Washington never told no lie Maybe we'd all be saved One day, one day, we'll all be free (One day, one day, we'll all be free) (One day, one day, we'll all be free) (One day, one day, we'll all be free) One day, one day, we'll all be free One day, one day we'll all be free (yes we will, yes we will) One day, one day (one day, one glorious day) we will all be free (Talking 'bout you, talking 'bout me) one day, one day we'll all be free One day, one day, we will all be, all be

How long is forever? How soon is now or never? How long will these heartaches linger on? And how long will my baby, be gone? How wide is the notion? How deep is the devotion? How long do these sleepless nights go on? And how long will my baby, be gone? For I could never understand How she could turn to another man How much does a heartache? How deep is a heartbreak? How long do these sleepless nights go on? And how long will my baby, be gone? For I could never understand How she could turn to another man How much does a heartache? How deep is a heartbreak? How long do these sleepless nights go on? And how long will my baby How long will my baby, be gone?
