Rose Tattoo - Let Us Live lyrics

(Anderson/Jordan/Meyer) I hear a voice a'singing Down through history Telling of that sacred thing That belongs to you and me But there are men that would deny you 'Cause of greed they cause you pain We must not let them beat you You must lift your voice and say Let us be what we wanna be Let us go where we wanna go Let us say what we got to say Let us live our own lives today They came and took your freedom Stole your dignity They robbed you of your human rights With their evil tyranny They came into your land Changed your way of living Took away your pride There can be no forgiving Let us be what we wanna be Let us go where we wanna go Let us say what we got to say Let us live our own lives today We got to live There was a time oh so long ago That you and I will never know It was a time when the earth was born From the dreams of the only one Let us be what we wanna be Let us go where we wanna go Let us say what we got to say Let us live our own lives today
