Simple Song Of Freedom lyrics

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
