If

If that's the way that it is (oooh)

If

If that's the way that it is



If we put our hearts together

And overcome our hesitation

We could join our love as one

And storm the gates of heaven

If the winds of change

Would blow in the favor of man

Resolve our situation

Undo the work of idle temptation



Oooh

The test of time

Oooh

Freedom will fly



If

If that's the way that it is

We gotta fight to live

If

If that's the way that it is

We gotta fight to live



If the tribes of Eden

Could find some common ground

We share in life and wisdom

And free our minds from prison

If there came a prophet

Could he lead us to the promised land

We gotta start talkin'

Gotta start talkin'

Yeah



Oooh

The test of time

Oooh

Freedom will fly



Runnin' out of time now

Come on like a holy war

Gotta fight to live

Struggle now

Fight to live
