Got to Be Free

[Verse 1] Hush little baby don't you cry Soon the sun is going to shine We're going to be free like the birds and the bees Running wild across the big country Got to be free to do what I want Walk if I want, talk if I want Got to be free to say what I want Make what I want and play what I want As free as the birds up in the sky As free as the bugs and the spiders and flies I don't know how but I'm gonna try I've just got to be free [Verse 2] And it won't be long 'cause we are right And they are wrong Yeah, we've got to get out of this world somehow We've got to be free, we've got to be free now I've got to be free to laugh when I want Think what I want and cry if I like I've got to be free to do what I want Say what I want and swear if I like As free as the sun and the moon in the sky As free as a flea or a proud butterfly I don't know how but I'm gonna try I've just got to be free [Verse 3] Yeah, we've got to get out of this world somehow Yeah, we've got to be free, we've got to be free now Got to be free to do what I want Walk if I want and talk if I want Got to be free to say what I want Make what I want and play what I want Well, I've got to be proud and stand up straight And let people see I ain't nobody's slave Well, and I've got to be free before it's too late I've just got to be free Well, I've got to be free to do what I want Walk if I want, talk if I want (Got to be free to say what I want) (Make what I want and play what I want)
