(Anderson/Jordan/Meyer)
I hear a voice a'singing
Down through history
Telling of that sacred thing
That belongs to you and me
But there are men that would deny you
'Cause of greed they cause you pain
We must not let them beat you
You must lift your voice and say
Let us be what we wanna be
Let us go where we wanna go
Let us say what we got to say
Let us live our own lives today
They came and took your freedom
Stole your dignity
They robbed you of your human rights
With their evil tyranny
They came into your land
Changed your way of living
Took away your pride
There can be no forgiving
Let us be what we wanna be
Let us go where we wanna go
Let us say what we got to say
Let us live our own lives today
We got to live
There was a time oh so long ago
That you and I will never know
It was a time when the earth was born
From the dreams of the only one
Let us be what we wanna be
Let us go where we wanna go
Let us say what we got to say
Let us live our own lives today
