FREE
(Chris Andrews)
The Pearly Gate (Ron Dante)


Ever since the world began,
There's always been a certain man
A certain man who's been put down
As sure as the world goes round
He's always had to fight, fight, fight
For what he knows is right
Ever since the world began
There's always been a certain man

Now he wants to be free, free, free
So let him be, be, be
He wants to be free, free, free,
Is that so hard to see?
He's had all he can take
And so for Heaven's sake
Let him be free, free, free
Just like a bird in a tree
He wants to be free.

All aboard the Freedom Train
Throw away those rusty chains
Rusty chains have shown their might
And we can't see what's right
Until the day we stand
All equal in God's land
All aboard the Freedom Train
Throw away those rusty chains.

Now he wants to be free, free, free
So let him be, be, be
He wants to be free, free, free,
Is that so hard to see?
He's had all he can take
And so for Heaven's sake
Let him be free, free, free
Just like a bird in a tree
He wants to be free, free, free
So let him be, be, be
He wants to be free, free, free
Is that so hard to see?
He's had all he can take
And so for Heaven's sake
Let him be free, free, free
Just like a bird in a tree
He wants to be free, free, free
So let him be, be, be
He wants to be free, free, free
Is that so hard to see?
He's had all he can take,
And so for Heaven's sake
Let him be free, free, free
Just like a bird in a tree... (fade)
