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 just 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 ya listenin'?
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 before
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere
We, the people here, don't want a war

Brother Solzhenitsyn are ya busy?
If not, will ya drop this friend a line?
Tell me if the man who is plowing up your land
Has got the war machine upon his mind

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

Now 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 the people be who love to sing

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

I said, let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere
We, the people here, don't want a war
