All the world over so easy to see
People everywhere just wanna be free
Listen please, listen that's the way it should be
There's peace in the valley, people got to be free

You should see what a lovely, lovely world this would be
If everyone learned to live together, yeah
It seems to me such an easy, easy thing it should be
Why can't you and me learn to love one another, oh yeah

If there's a man who is down and needs a helping hand
All it takes is you to understand and pull him through
It seems to me, we've got to solve it individually, oh yeah
I'll do unto you what you do unto me Shout it from the mountain on out to the sea
No two ways about it people got to be free
If you ask my opinion my opinion will be
It's a natural situation for man to be free

No two ways about it people got to be free
