THE RIGHT TO BE FREE

When I was a young boy my mother used to tell me
Everything was gonna be alright
When I grew older things were different then
I faced the world to struggle for the right

Chorus:
The right to be free, the right to be free
The right to be what I've got to be

A child is born in the darkness of night
So desperately grasping each breath of its life
Society says we must bring him up right
But never give him the chance to walk in the light

Chorus:
With the right to be free, the right to be free
The right to be what he's got to be

What will you gain if the whole world comes kneeling
Bowing themselves at the soles of your feet?
All of the while your soul is in torment
Knowing that shortly these things you can't keep

Chorus:
You've got the right to be free, the right to be free
The right to be what you've got to be

Come with me now, all is forgiven
If you'll turn your face to the hungry and poor
We are Love's children, our Kingdom is Heaven
If you give what you have God can give you more

[Repeat Chorus]
