Let 'Em In

Lyrics

Oh, I say, you've been misled
 You've been had
 You've been took
 Someone's knockin' at the door
 Somebody's ringin' the bell
 Someone's knockin' at the door
 Somebody's ringin' the bell
 Do me a favour
 Open the door and let 'em in
 Ooh, child, let the beautiful people in
 Someone's knockin' at the door
 Somebody's ringin' the bell
 Someone's knockin' at the door
 Someone's layin' on the bed
 Do me a favor
 Open the door and let 'em in
 Ooh child, let the soul of people in
 Pauly Williams was my twin
 Elijah Malcolm, still our friend
 Brother Martin, we can't forget John
 Bobby Maker
 Louis Armstrong oh, oh
 Lord, now, y'all
 Let the folks in, need to see my twin
 Let the folks in, they be washing their sins
 We hold these truths to be self-evident
 That all men are created equal and endowed by the Creator
 With certain inalienable rights
 When these rights are destroyed over long periods of time
 It is your duty
 To destroy or abolish that government
 Pauly Williams was my twin
 Elijah Malcolm, still our friend
 Brother Martin, we can't forget John
 Bobby Maker
 Louis Armstrong
 Ah, ah, ah, Lord now
 Let the folks in, I wanna see my twin
 Let the folks in, we gonna sit in my den
 ♪
 Well America is in a unique position
 She's the only country in history in a position
 Actually to become involved in a blood-less revolution
 The only we way we're gonna solve it
 We gotta unite us
 We gotta work together in unity and harmony
 Pauly Williams was my twin
 Elijah Malcolm, still my friend
 Brother Martin, we can't forget John
 Bobby Maker
 Louis Armstrong oh, oh
 Right now
 Someone's knockin' at the door
 Somebody's ringin' the bell, they push it hard
 Somebody's ringing it, Lord
 Somebody's ringin' the bell, they kickin' hard
 Do me a favor
 Open the door and let folks in
 Let the folks in, let the folks in, let the folks in
 Somebody better open the door
 Somebody's ringin' the bell
 Somebody better open the door
 Somebody's ringin' the bell
 Do me a favor, do me a favor
 Open up your door, open up your door
 And let the soul of people in
 Gotta let the soul in, let the soul in
 One at a time
 ♪
 I have a dream this afternoon
 That the brotherhood of man will become a reality in this day
 With this faith I will go out and carve a tunnel of hope
 Through the mountain of despair
 With this faith, I will go out with you
 And transform dark yesterdays into bright tomorrows
 With this faith
 We will be able to achieve this new day
 When all of God's children
 Black men and white men Jews and Gentiles
 Protestants and Catholics
 Will be able to join hands and sing
 With the Negroes in the spiritual of old
 Free at last, free at last
 Thank God almighty, we are free at last
 Somebody's knocking on my door
 Somebody's ringing my bell
 Somebody's knocking on my door
 Somebody's ringing my bell
 Somebody do me the favor do me the favour
 Give it a chance
 And let the people walk in
 I wanna see their face
 I wanna see who it is
