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?

So 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 would you drop a friend a line?

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

That 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 build them shelves where they can fight among themselves

and leave the people be who like 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

That we the people here, don’t want a war

Let it fill the air

Tell the people everywhere

That we the people here, don’t want a war

Freedom!

Freedom!

Freedom!
