Freedom I want
Freedom for the people, yeah
Freedom I want
Freedom for the people
Freedom I want
Freedom for the people, yeah
Freedom I want
Freedom for the people
I am walking 'round this town
Singing a song to myself
From across the road I see a friend
He's staring at the ground
His smile has vanished from his face
He tells me 'bout his troubles
That it takes up all his thinking
But if you're walking in the shadow
You know, you can't enjoy the sun
'Cause when the son sets you free
You will be free indeed
Freedom I want
Freedom for the people, yeah
Freedom I want
Freedom for the people
Freedom I want
Freedom for the people, yeah
Freedom I want
Freedom for the people
I keep walking down to town
Singing a song to myself
On a bench across the road
I see this lady by herself
Her face is shining with the tears
She tells me 'bout her children
How their love is lost to work
But if you're walking in the shadow
You know, you can't enjoy the sun
'Cause when the son sets you free
You will be free indeed
Freedom I want
Freedom for the people, yeah
Freedom I want
Freedom for the people
Freedom I want
Freedom for the people, yeah
Freedom I want
Freedom for the people
Freedom I want
Freedom for the people, yeah
Freedom I want
Freedom for the people
Freedom I want
Freedom for the people, yeah
Freedom I want
Freedom for the people
'Cause when the son sets you free
You will be free indeed
