Lyrics
Come and sing a simple song of freedomSing it like you’ve never sung before Let it fill the air Tell the people everywhere We, the people here, don’t want a warHey there, Mister Black Man can you hear me?I don’t want your diamonds or your game I do want to be someone known to you as me And I will bet my life you want the sameCome and sing a simple song of freedomSing it like you’ve never sung before Let it fill the air Tell the people everywhere We, the people here, don’t want a warSeven hundred million are enlistedMost of what you read, most of what you read, is made of lies But speaking one to one, ain’t it everybody’s son To wake to in the morning when we rise?Come and sing a simple song of freedomSing it like you’ve never sung, never sung, before Let it fill the air Tell the people everywhere We, the people here, don’t want a warNo doubt some folks enjoy doin’ battleLike presidents, prime ministers and kings So let’s all build them shelves so they can fight among themselves And leave us be those who want to singCome and sing a simple song of freedomSing it like you’ve never, ever, sung before Let it fill the air Tell the people everywhere We, the people here, don’t want a warCome and sing a simple song of freedomSing it like you’ve never, ever, sung before Speaking one to one Ain’t it everybody’s son To wake to in the morning when we rise Speaking one to one Ain’t it everybody’s son To wake to in the morning when we rise
