Bobby Darin - Simple Song Of Freedom lyrics

SIMPLE SONG OF FREEDOM

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 do 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 enlisted

Most 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 freedom

Sing 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 war

No doubt some folks enjoy doin' battle

Like 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 sing

Come and sing a simple song of freedom

Sing 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 war

Come and sing a simple song of freedom

Sing 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
