One day I'd like to open my eyes to understanding And see a world of equals where love is all-commanding I'd like to feel a freedom Admire the perfect view I hope for this but until then I'll live my life for you Some day I'd like to listen to peaceful conversation And hear my children's voices go sharing with the nation I'd like to see them living In comfort like you knew I hope for this but until then I'll spend my life indebted to you Indebted to you Indebted to you Indebted to you One day I'd like to thank you for working for the people Whose futures are dependent on words beyond the steeple Your actions are decisive So promise you'll be true We hope for this but until then We'll spend our lives indebted to you Indebted to you Indebted to you Indebted to you We hope for this but until then We'll spend our lives indebted to you Indebted to you Indebted to you Indebted to you Indebted to you Indebted to you Indebted to you Indebted to you Indebted to you Indebted to you
