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 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, 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 sun

To wake to in the morning when we rise

Speaking one to one

Ain't it everybody's sun

To wake to in the morning when we rise
