Tim Hardin - 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 who knows 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 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 No doubt some folks enjoy doing battle Like presidents, Prime ministers and kings So let's all build them shelves So they can fight among themselves And 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 Come and sing a simple song of freedom Sing it like you've never sung before Speaking one to one, ain't it everybody's Ain't it everybody's sun To wake to in the morning when we rise When we rise
