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 want to be someone who knows to you as me |
|
And I will bet my life you want the same |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
No doubt some folks enjoy doing battle |
|
Like presidents, Prime ministers and kings |
|
So let's all build them shelves |
|
So they can fight among themselves |
|
And leave the people be who love 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 |
|
We, the people here, don't want a war |
|
Come and sing a simple song of freedom |
|
Sing it like you've never sung before |
|
Speaking one to one, ain't it everybody's |
|
Ain't it everybody's sun |
|
To wake to in the morning when we rise |
|
When we rise |
