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 tomottow's mine

One who wakes one day to find

The prison doors open the shackles broken

And chaos in the street



Everbody sing we're free free free free

Everbody sing we're free free free free

Everbody 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
