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?
Tell me if the man who is plowing up your land
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.
Now no doubt some folks enjoy doin' battle
Like presidents, prime ministers and kings
So let's all build them shelves
Where they can fight among themselves
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.
I said let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere
We the people here don't want a war.
Freedom... Freedom... Freedom
Freedom... Freedom... Freedom.
