Free the People

歌詞

Laws were made for people And the law can never scorn The right of a man to be free Free the people! Let them have their say Free the people! Let them see the light of day A dismal dawn was breaking when they took her man away Not knowing what was his crime Just what he was guilty of not one of them could say But they'll think of something in time He says: "Goodbye and remember We shall overcome" Free the people! Let them have their say Free the people! Let them see the light of day Comforting her children softly crying in the night She tries very hard to explain You know, your Daddy never did a thing that wasn't right So soon he's bound to be home again He is a good man And he shall overcome Free the people! Let them have their say Free the people! Let them see the light of day What does it profit him The right to be born If he suffers the loss of liberty? Laws were made for people And the law can never scorn The right of a man to be free We are the people And we shall overcome We are the people And we shall overcome Free the people! Let them have their say Free the people! Let them see the light of day! Free the people! Let them have their say Free the people! Let them see the light of day
