They throwed him in jail. And they kept him there. Hoping so he'd die. 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. And chaos in the street. Everybody sing we're free free free free. Everybody sing we're free free free free. Everybody sing we're free free free free. They throwed him in jail. And they kept him there. Hoping his memory'd die. 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. Soon must come the day. When the righteous have their way. Unjustly tried are free. And people live in peace I say. Give the man release. 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. Free our hearts. Freedom for everyone. And freedom now. Freedom now. Freedom now. Freedom now. Let us all be free free free free. Let us all be free free free free. Let us all be free free free free
