Free The People

Laws were made for people

And the law can never scorn

The right of a man to be free

Free the people!

Let them have their say

Free the people!

Let them see the light of day

A dismal dawn was breaking when they took her man away

Not knowing what was his crime

Just what he was guilty of not one of them could say

But they'll think of something in time

He says: "Goodbye and remember

We shall overcome"

Free the people!

Let them have their say

Free the people!

Let them see the light of day

Comforting her children softly crying in the night

She tries very hard to explain

You know, your Daddy never did a thing that wasn't right

So soon he's bound to be home again

He is a good man

And he shall overcome

Free the people!

Let them have their say

Free the people!

Let them see the light of day

What does it profit him

The right to be born

If he suffers the loss of liberty?

Laws were made for people

And the law can never scorn

The right of a man to be free

We are the people

And we shall overcome

We are the people

And we shall overcome

Free the people!

Let them have their say

Free the people!

Let them see the light of day!

Free the people!

Let them have their say

Free the people!

Let them see the light of day
