Hymn To Freedom Lyrics

When every heart joins every heart and together yearns for liberty,
That's when we'll be free.
When every hand joins every hand and together moulds our destiny,
That's when we'll be free.
Any hour any day, the time soon will come when we will live in dignity,
That's when we'll be free.
When everyone joins in our song and together singing harmony,
That's when we'll be free.
