People Got To Be Free

The Rascals

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, ah-hah-unh

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, ah-hah-unh

Seems to me we got to solve it individually, ah-hah-unh

And I'll do unto you what you do to me



Shout it from the mountain on out to the sea (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



SPOKEN

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
