"Someday We'll All Be Free" is a 1973 song by Donny Hathaway from the album ''Extension of a Man''. The song was released as the flipside to the single "Love, Love, Love". Though the song was only released as an uncharted A-side, it is considered an R&B standard, having been covered by many artists over the years. The lyrics were written by Edward Howard, for and about the mental pain that Donny Hathaway was experiencing at the time. Edward Howard said:
Years later, the song began to be interpreted as being written about black rights, primarily due to Spike Lee featuring it at the end of his biographical film Malcolm X. However, as Howard said:
Donny Hathaway himself particularly loved the song and as Eulalah Hathaway stated:
