freedom now
chapman, tracy
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
everybody sing we're free free free free
everybody sing we're free free free free
everybody sing we're free free free free
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
when the righteous have their way
and people live in peace i say
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
let us all be free free free free
let us all be free free free free
let us all be free free free free
