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 known 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 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. |

|
Brother Solzhenitsyn, are you busy? |
|
If not, won't you drop this friend a line? |
|
And 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 |
|
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 where 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. |
|
|
|
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere |
|
We, the people, here don't want a war... |
