Free the People Songtext

von Athenrye

Free the People.
(Phil Coulter)
Laws were made for people
And 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 goodbye and
Remember our day will come

Chorus

Comforting her children
Softly crying in the night
She tries very hard to explain
You know your daddy
Never done a thing that wasn't right
And he's bound to be home again
He is a good man
And his day will come

Chorus

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 our day will come
We are the people and our day will come

Chorus
