Free

[Charlie Chaplin]: I don't want to rule or conquer anyone I should like to help everyone if possible Jew, Gentile, Black Man, White We all want to help one another, human beings are like that We want to live by each other's happiness Not by each other's misery The way of life can be free and beautiful But we have lost the way [Ambré]: You want to go to school to work to pay it off And now you wondering if it's worth it, is it paying off? We live in darkness, yeah But if I gave you light, could you free your mind? Free your mind Free your mind Free your mind Free your mind We can fly if you free your mind We gon' be alright if you free your mind Oh-ohh [Charlie Chaplin]: Greed has poisoned men's souls Our knowledge has made us cynical Our cleverness, hard and unkind We think too much, and feel too little We need humanity, we need kindness and gentleness Without these qualities life will be violent, and all will be lost [Ambré]: You is me, I'm you, you is me Don't you know we need unity There's crime in the community 'Cause there ain't no opportunity, uh Ni***s share not one We been through this once I won't pay the price Economic [?] Free your mind Free your mind Free your mind Free your mind (yeah-yeah) We can fly if you free your mind (If you) We gon' be alright if you free your mind Oh-ohh [Charlie Chaplin]: Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world Millions of despairing men, women, and little children Victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed The bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress
