I'll build me a road over mountains blue,
I'll build me a road by the sea.
I'll build me a road that's wide and new,
and folks can walk with me.
Here you can say what's on your mind,
and know that you'll be free.
I'll build me a road through the hearts of men,
and I'll call it humility.
I'll build me a road over deserts bare,
I'll build me a road through the wood.
I'll build me a road where men may dare to be misunderstood.
Here you can say what's on your mind,
and know that you will be free.
I'll build me a road through the minds of men,
and I'll call it fraternity.
Step on through the road at any place,
no matter where you may roam.
It begins and it ends in every race that calls the world its home.
Here you can say what's on your mind,
and know that you will be free.
I'll build me a road through the souls of men,
and I'll call it humanity.
Here you can say what's on your mind,
and know that you will be free.
I'll build me a road through the souls of men,
and I'll call it humanity.
