People Got To Be Free Lyrics By 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
    there’s peace 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
    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 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
    seems to me we got to solve it individually ah ah
    and i’ll do unto you what you do to me
    said no

    shout it from the mountain on out to the sea
    no two ways about it people have to be free they gotta be free
    ask me my opinion my opinion will be
    natural situation for a man to be free
    get right on board now huh huh

    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
    peace in the valley now we all can be free

    see that train over there
    now 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
    ha ha yeah
