Our fathers and the men that went before them
Just couldn't seem to work it out
Oh there's always someone out there who wants to spoil it for the rest
And always someone else that thinks they know best!

With the fire and the sun in our eyes we go onward
But we're not exactly blinded by the light
And yet it’s written that one day we will realise
That there is wrong and there is right!

Set me free! Set me free!
Set me free! Won’t you please set me free?

INS....

I know it's a shame we don't show respect for life
Cos every man should know that it's the key!
You can't tread all over people just to get your own way
Cos someone always has to pay!

And the people who lay down the law should know better
But time and time again they let you down
And don't we all look forward to the dawning of that day
Where each and every man can have his say!

And you know that it's right in the long run to look after everyone
And the answer really does lie in respect
And if only every man could learn to live and let live
What a wonderful world we could perfect!

Set me free! Set me free!
Set me free! Won’t you please set me free?
