G D G
Come and sing a simple song of freedom
C G
Sing it like you've never sung before
D Em
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere
C D G
We, the people here, don't want a war
G D G
Hey there Mister Black Man can you hear me
C G
I don't want your diamond or your game
D Em
I just want to be someone known to you as me
C D G
And I will bet my life you want the same
(Chorus)
G D G
Seven hundred million are you listening
C G
most of what you read is made of lies
D Em
Speaking one to one ain't it everybody's sun
C D G
To wake to in the morning when we rise
(Chorus)
G D G
No doubt some folks enjoy doing battle
C G
Like presidents, prime ministers and kings
D Em
So let us build them shelves so they might fight among themselves
C D G
And leave us be those who want to sing
(chorus)
G D G
Come and sing a simple song of freedom
C G
Sing it like you've never sung before
D Em
Speaking one to one ain't it everybody's everybody's sun
C D G
To wake to in the morning when we rise, when we arise
D Em
Speaking one to one ain't it everybody's sun
C D G
To wake to in the morning when we arise
