People Got To Be Free: The Rascals
#1 in 1968.
CHORUS:
All the world over, so easy to see,
people everywhere just wanna be free.
Listen, please listen, that s the way it should be.
peace in the valley, people got to be free.
#1.
You should see, what a lovely, lovely world this would be,
if everyone learned to live together.
It seems to me, such an easy, easy, thing this should be.
Why can t you and me, learn to love one another?
CHORUS:#2.
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.
#2.
If there s a man who is down, and needs a helping hand,
all it takes is you to understand, and to see him through.
Seems to me, we got to solve it individually.
And I ll do unto you, what you do to me.
#3.
There ll be shoutin from the mountains, on out to sea.
No two ways about it, people have to be free.
Ask me my opinion, my opinion will be,
it s a natural situation for a man to be free.
#4.
Oh, what a feelin s just come over me,
Enough to move a mountain, make a blind man see.
Everybody, sing it now, come on, let s go see,
peace in the valley, now we ought to be free. (Fade)
