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
