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 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 war

Seven hundred million, are you list'ning?
Most of what you read, 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, never sung before
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere
We, the people here, don't want a war

No doubt, some folks enjoy doing battle
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 war

Come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never, never sung before

Speaking one to one, ain't it everybody's, everybody's sun
To wake to in the morning when we rise, when we rise?
Speaking one to one, ain't it everybody's, everybody's sun
To wake to in the morning when we rise?
