Simple Song of Freedom

Come and sing a simple song of freedom Sing it like you've never sung before Let it fill the air Tell the people everywhere We, the people here, don't want a war Hey, there, mister black man, can you hear me? I don't want your diamonds or your game I just wanna be someone known to you as me And I will bet my life you want the same Come and sing the simple song of freedom Sing it like you've never sung before Let it fill the air Tell the people everywhere We, the people here, don't want a war Seven hundred million, are you listenin'? Most of what you read is made of lies But speakin' one to one, ain't it everybody's sun To wake to in the mornin' when we rise? Come and sing a simple song of freedom Sing it like you've never sung before Let it fill the air Tell the people everywhere We, the people here, don't want a war Brother Solzhenitsyn, are you busy? If not, won't you drop this friend a line? Tell me if the man who is plowin' up your land Has got the war machine upon his mind Come and sing the simple song of freedom (freedom) Sing it like you've never sung before (freedom) Let it fill the air Tell the people everywhere We, the people here, don't want a war Now, no doubt some folks enjoy doin' battle Like presidents, prime ministers and kings So let's all build them shelves Where they can fight among themselves Leave the people be who love to sing Come and sing the simple song of freedom (freedom) Sing it like you've never sung before (freedom) Let it fill the air Tell the people everywhere We, the people here, don't want a war I said let it fill the air Tell the people everywhere We, the people here, don't want a war Freedom (Oh, freedom) Freedom (Ooh) Freedom Freedom Freedom Freedom
