Lay Down Your Arms Lest We All Fall

Someday I will wake up to see A world that is totally free Free of bigotry and slavery Free of the evil in you and me Someday I will wake up to smell freedom I will pray to one day be in His Kingdom I will fold my hands go down on my knees and say: Thank You Heavenly Father for this Freedom Day Someday I will wake up to hear songs of joy Revisit Christmas Day and that special toy I will shed tears of joy and thank mom and dad And remember that my life wasn't all that bad Someday I will wake up and taste liberty Unlock cuffs and shackles quelling you and me I will rise stand tall and scream to them all: Lay down your knives and guns lest we all fall Someday I will wake up and touch the humanity in you and me I will thank God for sending us strength and dignity to set us free I will shed tears of grief for all those children who didn't have to die And try to understand why so very young mom and dad had to say: Bye But for now I'm on pins and needles with all the lunacy injustice and lack of sanity Every day and night I ask the Heavenly Father about the evil in you and me I pray that God puts an end to all the racism indignity and immorality And that one day His heavenly children will show us the peaceful way to setting us all free Vaya con Dios, mis amigos
