Video Transcript

This ain't comin' from no prophet
Just an ordinary man
When I close my eyes I see
The way this world shall be
When we all walk hand in hand

When the last child cries for a crust of bread
When the last man dies for just words that he said
When there's shelter over the poorest head
We shall be free

And when money talks for the very last time
And nobody walks a step behind
When there's only one race and that's mankind
Then we shall be free

Stand straight, walk proud, have a little faith, hold out
We shall be free
We shall be free
We shall be free

4	Dian Adams 3 months ago from LaPlace, Louisiana When I was walking my dog in the neighborhood, my dog and I were attacked and bitten. This was a strong "bulldog type" dog. Everyone said I should sue the owner. I heard your T.V. commercial, and went to the owner and told him I didn't want him to pay for my hospital bills or vet. bill. All I wanted him to do was get training for his dog so he wouldn't be put to sleep. I have always been a good person, but your commercial made me a better person. P.S. We both are O.K.
