Free the People Songtext

von Phil Coulter

Free The People

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'll think of something in time
He says: 'Goodbye and remember
Wes hall overcome'

Chorus,

Comforting her children
Softly crying in the night
She tried 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,

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!
