(Words by Felix Cavaliere and Music by Edward Brigati, Jr.)
|
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
|
|
[Instrumental Interlude]
|
|
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
|
