Lyrics
[Chorus]
All the world over, so easy to see
People everywhere just wanna be free
Listen, please listen, that's the way it should be
There's peace in the valley, people got to be free
[Verse 1]
You should see what a lovely, lovely world this would be
Everyone learned to live together, ah-ha
Seems to me such an easy, easy thing should be
Why can't you and me learn to love one another?
[Chorus]
All the world over, so easy to see
People everywhere just wanna be free (Wanna be free)
I can't understand it, so simple to me (It is)
People everywhere just got to be free
[Verse 2]
If there's a man who is down and needs a helpin' hand
All it takes is you to understand
And to pull him through, ah-ha
Seems to me, we got to solve it individually, ah-ha
And I'll do unto you what you do to me
Said, no
[Chorus]
They'll be shoutin' from the mountains
On out to the sea (Out to the sea)
No two ways about it, people have to be free (They got to be free)
You ask me my opinion, my opinion will be
It's a natural situation for a man to be free
[Bridge]
Get right on board now, huh, huh
[Chorus]
Yeah
Oh, what a feelin' just come over me
It's enough to move a mountain, make a blind man see (Believe I can see)
Everybody's dancin', come on, let's go see
There's peace in the valley, now we all can be free
[Outro]
Ha-ha, yeah
Look, you see that train over there?
Now that's the train of freedom
It's about to arrive any minute now
You know it's been a long, long overdue
Look out, 'cause it's a comin' right on through
Ha, ha, yeah-eh
Ha-ha, yeah-eh
