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

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

Git right on board now

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

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
