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 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, most of what you read is made of lies

Speaking one to one, ain't it everybody's sun

To wake to in the morning when we rise

Come sing a simple song of freedom

(Come and sing a simple song of freedom)

Sing it like you never, never sung before

(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 doin' battle

Like presidents, prime ministers, and kings

So let us build them shelves, so they can fight among themselves

And leave us be those who want to sing

Come and sing a simple song of freedom

Sing it like you've never, never sung before

(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, everybody's sun

The wake to in the morning when we rise, when we rise

Speaking one to one, ain't it everybody's, everybody's sun

(Speaking one to one, ain't it everybody's sun)

To wake to in the morning when we rise
