SIMPLE SONG OF FREEDOM
(Bobby Darin, born Walden Robert Cassotto)
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 most of what your read is made of lies
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 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 us build them shelves
so they might fight among themselves
and leave us be those who want to sing
come and sing a simple song of freedom
sing it like you've never never sung before
let it fill the air
tell the people everywhere
we the people here don't want a war
(come and sing a simple song of freedom
sing it like you've never never sung before)
speaking one to one
ain't it everybody everybody's song
to wake to in the morning when we rise when we rise
speaking one to one
ain't it everybody everybody's song
to wake to in the morning when we rise when we rise rise
