Once there was a man, and he
lived to sing the lion's song As he traveled on road of
hope One Love is the
light, shining over every mountain top It will lead us to the higher
ground One day every heart will beat strong against the night Let it
be done right now
Once there was a man, and his words
became a song of love And his song became the golden dream One Love is the
light, shining over everyone that believes It will lead us to the higher
ground One day every eye will see truth before the light Let it be done
right now
Some wait, so long Because our love is strong This hard
road traveled on Will lead us home, forever
Hear the lion's song,
voices cryin' like a desert wind Yeh he's gone unto his father's
land Afrika tonight, for we truly are one in our hearts Colors woven in
the golden dream
One day every eye will see truth before the light Let
it be done right now One day every voice will speak strong against the
night Let us be one right now So let it be
We are the children of a
thousand days We are the people of the hard rain We are the children of a
thousand days We are the people of the hard rain We are the people of the
hard rain
