Lyrics

Throwed him in jail and they kept him there Hoping soon he'd die That his body and spirit would waste away And soon after that his mind But every day is born a fool One who thinks that he can rule One who says tomorrow's mine One who wakes one day to find The prison doors open, the shackles broken And chaos in the street Everybody sing we're free, free, free, free Everybody sing we're free, free, free, free Everybody sing we're free, free, free, free Oh, they throwed him in jail and they kept him there Hoping his memory'd die That the people forget how he once led And fought for justice in their lives But every day is born a man Who hates what he can't understand Who thinks the answer is to kill Who thinks his actions are god's will And he thinks he's free, free, free, free Yes, he thinks he's free, free, free, free Oh, he thinks he's free, free, free, free Soon must come the day Oh, when the righteous have their way Unjustly tried are free Oh, and people live in peace, I say Give the man release Oh, go on and set your conscience free Right the wrongs you made Oh, even a fool can have his day Let us all be free, free, free, free Let us all be free, free, free, free Let us all be free, free, free, free Free our bodies, free our minds Free our hearts Freedom for everyone Freedom now Oh, freedom now Freedom now Freedom now Let us all be free, free, free, free Let us all be free, free, free, free Let us all be free, free, free, free Let us all be free Let us all be Let us all be free Let us all be Let us all be free
