James Ingram - Someday We'll All Be Free Lyrics






Hang onto the world as it spins around.
Just don't let the spin get you down.
Things are moving fast.
Hold on tight and you will last.

Keep your self-respect your manly pride
Get yourself in gear, keep your stride.
Never mind your fears, never mind
Brighter days will soon be here.

Just wait and see someday we'll all be free, yeah

Keep on walking tall, hold you head up high.
Lay your dreams right up to the sky.
Sing your greatest songs, your greatest songs.
And you'll keep growing, you'll keep growing on.

Take it from me, someday we'll all be free, yeah
And it won't be long
Take it from me, someday we'll all be free, yeah

Take it from me, someday we'll see
We'll all be free
Take it from me, someday we'll see
Take it from me, someday we'll see
Take it from me

    I love James Ingram's music. I do. I've been a fan since he first hooked up with Quincy Jones. But...when it comes to THIS song?
    Nobody and I mean NOBODY put their foot in it like Aretha. She sung that song so fiercely that it made you proud to be black and a part of the struggle against the greatest affliction ever known to mankind. Racism and Bigotry. The blood brothers of pure evil. Ya heard?

  14. K.... s....

    Rip James Ingram... M free today👌👏

  15. J.... R....

    Very nice Voice.. I love your all song's so much. RIP idol. 😢😭

    Today, January 29 2019, James Ingram died age 66. We lost what I believe was the greatest voice in Soul Music. No one truly dies as long as their name is repeated. James Ingram, sing on brother!

  35. T.... R....

    Rest peacefully as your beautiful music lives on!

  36. L.... C....

    R.I.P. Another great singer transitioned.

  37. H.... C....

    I truly hoped that everyone felt free in 1989; I thought we found equality.  Apparently, I was wrong.  I believed in complete equality.  This song breaks my heart b/c, I had no idea.

  38. N.... R....

    They don’t make them like this nowadays, childhood memories ❤️

  39. T.... T....

    next to donny there is you bruh!!! That's great company!

  40. P.... A....

    I love it

  41. R.... J....

    Everybody and their grandmomma redid this song... But this is one of the best versions I've heard! Donny himself would love it! Kudos😉

  42. J.... D....

    Beautiful version of a classic

  43. S.... A....

    😒It's okay. Can't say I've ever heard a "bad" version of this, some are just better than others. Personally, for me, Aretha made the best version of it for Malcolm X. She took it to church...

    S.... A....

    hearing you loud and clear bro

  44. k.... m....

    That voice is incredible. So underrated. Wonderful. I listen to this everyday.

  45. A.... E....

    Great voice... Before the original, I heard this one, so I feel it's even better than the original...

    A.... E....

    Alp Engin then you crazy 😂

    A.... E....

    Yes it is and this not about not having respect for Donnie but we are just calling a spade a spade.

  46. M.... L....

    Not a bad rendition by James. I love it. Good one Brother...Take it from me someday we will be free...@ 3:50...South Africa...

  47. P.... G....

    Donny Hathaway était vraiment un visionnaire en musique vu le nombre d'artistes qui ont repris ses compositions classe !!!!!!

  48. P.... W....

    James sounds a lot like Donny on many of his notes. Great job!!! A beautiful song by the late great Donny Hathaway

  49. F.... F....

    Great arrangements with Q and of course Toots 👍🏻

  50. y.... F....

    indeed James such a true song peace an love going out to you one of a kind will never be another James Ingram voice

  51. D.... C....

    James did ok but no one brought it like Mr DONNIY

    D.... C....

    Dianne Cooper James nailed it. You can't compare the two versions

    D.... C....

    Vic Nyoni well I am, Donny was better but both are gifted but there's no doubt Donny Hathaway made the song, also James Michael Henderson sound like brothers

  52. P.... C....

    James is awesome and this is a awesome SOng

  53. R.... K....

    you did Donny justice thank you brother

  54. D.... D....

    great remake of a classic

  55. D.... L....

    C'mon my Brotha, sang it!!!

  56. p.... ....

    An equally gifted voice as was Donny Hathaway

    p.... ....

    equally?????? ummm i dont think so

    p.... ....

    equally?????? ummm i dont think so

    p.... ....

    equally?????? ummm i dont think so

    p.... ....

    equally?????? ummm i dont think so

    p.... ....

    No, good but not Donny good

  57. c.... ....

    Wonderful Video - great work!

  58. R.... J....

    Love his version, amazing!

  59. R.... N....

    One of the great voices of our time. He sings with so much feeling. Something that's lacking in a lot of today's music.

  60. T.... M....
