TIM HARDIN - SIMPLE SONG OF FREEDOM
(B. Darin)
CBS 4441

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 no war

Hey there, mister black man, can you hear me?
I don't want your diamonds or your games
I want to be someone known to you as 'me'
And I would 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 no war

Sevenhundred million are you listening?
Most of what you hear, most of what you read is made of lies
Speaking, wonder why, ain't it everybody's sun?
To wait to in the morning when he arrives

Come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never, never sung before
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere
We, the people here don't want no war

No doubt, there are some folks enjoy doing battles
Like presidents, prime ministers and kings
So let us build them shelves
So they might 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, never sung before
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere
We, the people here don't want no war

(Come and sing a simple song of freedom)
(Sing it like you've never sung before)
Speaking, wonder why, ain't it everybody's, yeah everybody's sun?
To wait to in the morning when he arrives, when he arrives

Speaking, wonder why, ain't it everybody's, everybody's sun?
To wait to in the morning when he arrives
