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...
