They throwed him in jail And they kept him there Hoping soon he'd die That his body and spirit would waste away And soon after that his mind
But every day is born a fool One who thinks that he can rule One who says tomorrow's mine One who wakes one day to find The prison doors open the shackles broken And chaos in the street
Everybody sing we're free free free free Everybody sing we're free free free free Everybody sing we're free free free free
They throwed him in jail And they kept him there Hoping his memory'd die That the people forget how he once led And fought for justice in their lives
But every day is born a man Who hates what he can't understand Who thinks the answer is to kill Who thinks his actions are god's will
And he thinks he's free free free free Yes he thinks he's free free free free He thinks he's free free free free
Soon must come the day When the righteous have their way Unjustly tried are free And people live in peace I say Give the man release Go on and set your conscience free Right the wrongs you made Even a fool can have his day
Let us all be free free free free Let us all be free free free free Let us all be free free free free
Free our bodies free our minds Free our hearts Freedom for everyone And freedom now
Freedom now Freedom now Freedom now
Let us all be free free free free Let us all be free free free free Let us all be free free free free
