[Chorus]
All over the world (So easy to see)
You can see (People everywhere just wanna be free)
Listen, please listen (Listen, please listen, that's the way it should be)
People wanna be free (Peace in the valley, people got to be free)
(Oooh, oooh, ooh)
[Verse 1]
Now you should see
What a lovely, lovely world this would be
If everyone learned to live together, oh yeah (Live, live, live, live)
It seems to me (Oh oh oh)
Such an easy, easy thing it should be (Oh oh oh)
Why can't you and me learn to love one another, oh yeah (Love, love, love, love)
[Chorus]
All over the world (So easy to see)
Easy to see (People everywhere just wanna be free)
Yes, look at the people (I can't understand it, so simple to me)
You know they wanna be free (People everywhere just got to be free)
(Oooh, oooh, ooh)
[Verse 2]
Oh, if there's a man
Who is down and needs a helping hand
All it takes is you to understand
And pull him through, help that man, now (Help that man)
It seems to me
You've got to solve it individually
And I'll do unto you what you do to me
Oh, yes I will
[Chorus]
Listen, they're shoutin' from the mountain
(There'll be shoutin' from the mountains on up to sea)
Oh, up to the sea
(No two ways about it, people have to be free)
There's no two ways about it
(Ask me my opinion, my opinion will be)
[Bridge]
Listen, they've got to be free
(People got, got, got, got
Got, got, got to be free)
Oh, yeah
[Chorus]
Oh, a strange feelin'
(Oh, what a feelin', just come over me)
Just came over me
(Enough to move a mountain, make a blind man see)
A blind man, a blind man
(Everybody listen, that's the way it should be)
Wants to be free
(Peace in the valley, people got to be free)
All over the world
(All over the world, it's so easy to see)
It's easy to see
(People everywhere just wanna be free)
Just look at the people
(Listen, please listen, that's the way it should be)
They've got to be free
(Peace in the valley, people got to be free)
All over, it's easy to see
(All over the world, it's so easy to see)
People everywhere just wanna be free
(People everywhere just wanna be free)
Listen, people
