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 won't dig your diamonds or hunt your game I just want to be, someone known to you as me And I will bet my life you want the same So 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 Seven hundred million are you listening? Most of what you read is made of lies But speaking one to one, ain't it everybody's sun To wake to in the morning when we rise? So come and sing a simple song of freedom Sing it like you've never sung, never sung, before Let it fill the air Tell the people everywhere We, the people here, don't want a war Brother Yareshenko are you busy? If not would you drop a friend a line? Tell me if the man, who is plowing up your land Has got the war machine upon his mind 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 That we, the people here, don't want a war Now no doubt some folks enjoy doin' battle Like presidents and ministers and kings But let us build them shelves where they can fight among themselves And leave the people be who like to sing 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 That we the people here, don't want a war Let it fill the air Tell the people everywhere That we the people here, don't want a war
