Free The People Lyrics

SPOKEN:
Laws are made for people,
But the law can never scorn
The right of a man to be free

Chorus:
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'd think of something in time
He said, 'Good bye and remember, we shall overcome'

Chorus

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

Chorus

SPOKEN:
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

Chorus
