All the world over, so easy to see
People everywhere just wanna be free
Listen, people listen, that's the way it should be
Deep in the valley, people got to be free
You should see, what a lovely, lovely world this could
be
If everyone learned to live together
It seems to me such an easy, easy thing this should
be
Why can't you and me learn to love one another
All the world over, so easy to see
People everywhere just wanna be free
I can't understand it, so simple to me
People everywhere just got to be free
Ah, ah, yeah . . . ah, ah, yeah
If there's a man who is down and needs a helping hand
All it takes is you to understand and to see him
through
Seems to me, we got to solve it individually
And I'll do unto you what you do to me
There'll be shoutin' from the mountains on out to sea
No two ways about it, people have to be free
Ask me my opinion, my opinion will be
It's a natural situation for a man to be free
Oh, what a feelin's just come over me
Enough to move a mountain, make a blind man see
Everybody's singin', now let's go see
Peace in the valley, now they want to be free
All the world over, so easy to see
People everywhere just wanna be free
Listen, people listen, that's the way it should be
Deep in the valley, people got to be free
