Lyrics

We hold these truths to be self-evident
 That all men are are created equal
 That they are endowed by their Creator
 With certain unalienable rights
 That among these are life
 Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
 That to secure these rights
 Governments are instituted among men
 Deriving their just powers
 From the consent of the governed
 That whenever any
 Form of government becomes
 Destructive of these ends
 It is the right of the people
 To alter or to abolish it
 And to institute new government
 Laying its foundation on such
 Principles and organizing its
 Powers in such form as to
 Them shall seem most likely to
 Effect their safety and happiness
 Prudence, indeed will dictate that
 Governments, long established
 Should not be changed for light
 And transient causes
 And accordingly, all experience has shown
 That mankind are
 More disposed to suffer
 While evils are sufferable
 Than to right themselves by
 Abolishing the forms to which
 They are accustomed
 But when a long train
 Of abuses and usurpations
 Pursuing invariably the same object
 Evinces a design to reduce them
 Under absolute despotism
 It is their right
 It is their duty
 To throw off such government
 And to provide new guards
 For their future security
 For their future security
 For their future security
 For their future security

 I was born by the river in a little tent
 And, oh just like a river, I've been running ever since
 It's been a long, a long time coming
 But I know a change has got to come, oh yes, it will
 It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die
 I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
 It's been a long, a long time coming
 But I know a change has got to come, oh yes, it will
 Then I go to my brother
 And I say, "Brother, help me please"
 But he, you know, he just keep on, keep on knockin' me to my knees, but oh
 There've been times that I thought I couldn't last for long
 But now I think I'm able to carry on
 It's been a long, a long time coming
 But I know a change has got to come, a change has got to come, yeah
 ♪
 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
 All the world over, so easy to see
 People everywhere just wanna be free
 I can't understand it, so simple to me
 People everywhere just got to be free
 Shout it from the mountain on out to the sea
 No two ways about it, people have to be free
 Ask me my opinion, my opinion will be
 Natural situation for a man to be free
 Oh, what a feeling's just come over me
 Love can move a mountain, make a blind man see
 Everybody's dancing, come on, let's go see
 Peace in the valley now, we all can be free
 Wanna be free
 Got to be free
 Wanna be free
 Got to be free
 Got to be free
 Got to be free
 Got to be free
 Got to be free
 Got to be free
 Got to be free
