All the world over, so easy to see
People everywhere just wanna be free
Listen, please listen, that's the way it should be
Peace in the valley, people got to be free
A-a yeah, a-a yeah

You should see what a lovely, lovely world this'd be
Everyone learned to live together, aha
Seems to me such an itty bitty thing should be
Why can't you and me learn to love one another?
Oh, heaven now

All the world over, so easy to see
People everywhere just wanna be free - wanna be free
I can't understand, it's so simple to me - it is
People everywhere just got to be free
A-a yeah, a-a yeah

If there's a man who is down and needs a helpin' hand
All it takes you to understand and to pull him through, aha
Seems to me we got to solve it individually, aha
And I'll do unto you what you do to me
Said no-o-o-o

Better shout it from the mountains on out to the sea - out to the sea
Not two ways about it, people have to be free - they got be free
Ask me my opinion, my opinion will be - aha
It's a nat'ral situation for a man to be free
A-a yeah, a-a yeah
Get right on board now - ha ha
Now yeah

Oh, what a feelin's just come over me
Love can move a mountain, make a blind man see - me I can see
Everybody sing it now come on, let's go see
There's peace in the valley, now we ought to be free

See that train over there? That's the train of freedom
It's about to arrive any minute, now
You know it's been a long, long overdue
Look out 'cause it's a comin' right on through ....
