Come and sing a simple song of freedom 
Sing it like you've never sung before 
Let it fill the air 
Tell the people everywhere 
We, the people here, don't want a war. 

Hey there, Mister Black Man can you hear me? 
I don't want your diamonds or your game 
I just want to be someone known to you as me 
And I will bet my life you want the same 

Come and sing a simple song of freedom 
Sing it like you've never sung before 
Let it fill the air 
Tell the people everywhere 
We, the people here, don't want a war. 

Seven hundred million are you listening? 
Most of what you read is made of lies 
But speaking one to one, ain't it everybody's sun 
To wake to in the morning when we rise? 

Come and sing a simple song of freedom 
Sing it like you've never sung before 
Let it fill the air 
Tell the people everywhere 
We, the people here, don't want a war. 

Brother Solzhenitsyn, are you busy? 
If not, won't you drop this friend a line? 
And tell me if the man, who is plowing up your land 
Has got the war machine upon his mind? 

Come and sing a simple song of freedom 
Sing it like you've never sung before 
Let it fill the air 
Tell the people everywhere 
We, the people here, don't want a war. 

No doubt some folks enjoy doing battle 
Like presidents, Prime ministers and kings 
So let's all build them shelves where they can fight among themselves 
And leave the people be who love to sing. 

Come and sing a simple song of freedom 
Sing it like you've never sung before 
Let it fill the air 
Tell the people everywhere 
We, the people here, don't want a war. 

Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere 
We, the people, here don't want a war...
