Simple Song of Freedom (Live at Woodstock - 8/15/69)

Come and sing a simple song of freedom

I know, I know you want to hear me

So why don't you sing it yourself like you never sung before?

Let it fill the air

And tell the people everywhere

That we the people here don't want a war

Say there, Mr. Blackman, are you listening?

If you hear me, you know I don't want your diamonds or your gain

I just want to be someone known to you as me

I will bet my life you want the same

Come sing a simple song of freedom

Please sing it

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 Rivaschenka, are you listening?

If you hear a friend, won't you drop me a line?

Tell me if the man who is plowing up your land

Come and sing a simple song, song of freedom

Sing it like, sing it like you've never sung before

Let it, let it fill the air

Tell the people everywhere

We the people here don't want a war

You know most of what you read is made of lies

Speaking one to one, ain't it everybody's sun

To wake to in the morning when you rise?

Seven hundred million, are, are you listening?

You know that most of what you read is made of lies

But speaking one to one, ain't it everybody, everybody's sun

To wake to in the morning when we rise?
