Lyrics
Let the people be free, let the people be free
Let them bend no more knees, let them crow out no pleas
Nor quell, nor appease
Let them build their own homes
Let them roll their own stones
Let the people be free
Take me to the Heavens, take me where I need to go
To the place where the tyranny never reigns
Nor does it ever get to plunder which we grow
As the truth does flow…
And the people are free, all the people are free
Whether they rock or breed, or they talk or they screed
They will feed their own needs
They’ll decide on their own
How to set their own tone
Let the people be free
Words won’t harm a balanced person
Only impetus may break her bones
Self resolve is surely inalienable
And it must not be surrendered to the clones
Nor the unmanned drones…
When the people are free, all the people are free
Whether they draw from the seas or sail on the breeze
Or they talk with the trees
Let the world be their zone to construct their own throne
Just to spring up from the bottom
And rise as high as my wings will tread the air
If I conduct an honest expedition
Why should the “overlords” even care?
I do not disrupt another person’s fare
I will build my own home
I will roll my own stone
And I shall be free
