People Got to Be Free
All the world over, so easy to see
People everywhere just wanna be free
Listen, please listen, that's the way it should be
Deep in the valley, people got to be free
You should see what a lovely, lovely world this'd be
Everyone learned to live together,
Seems to me such an itty, bitty thing should be
Why can't you and me learn to love one another
All the world over, so easy to see
People everywhere just wanna be free
I can't understand it, so simple to me
People everywhere just got to be free
If there's a man who is down and needs a helpin' hand
All it takes is you, to understand and to pull him through,
Seems to me we got to solve it individually,
And I'll do unto you what you do to me
Shout it from the mountain on out to the sea (out to the sea)
No two ways about it, people have to be free
Ask me my opinion, my opinion will be
Nat'ral situation for a man to be free
Get right on board now
[Instrumental Interlude]
Oh, what a feelin's just come over me
Love can move a mountain, make a blind man see
Everybody sing it now come on let's go see
Deep in the valley now, we ought to be free
[Spoken:]
See that train over there
That's the train of freedom
It's about to 'rrive any minute, now
You know it's been'a long, long overdue
Look out, 'cause it's a'comin' right on through
