Free the People Spoken: Laws are made for people and the law can never scorn the right of a man to be free. Free the people, let them have their say Free the people, let them see the light of day (Addys Madden) was breaking when they took her man away Not knowing what was his crime Just what he was guilty of not one of them could say But they think of something in time He says "Goodbye and remember, we shall overcome" Free the people, let them have their say Free the people, let them see the light of day Comforting her children softly crying in the night She tries very hard to explain "You know your daddy never did a thing that wasn't right So soon he's bound to be home again He is a good man and he shall overcome" Free the people, let them have their say Free the people, let them see the light of day Spoken: But does is profit him, the right to be born, if he suffers the loss of liberty. Laws were made for people and the law can never scorn the right of a man to be free. We are the people and we shall overcome. We are the people and we shall overcome Free the people, let them have their say Free the people, let them see the light of day Remarks: Recorded by The Dubliners. MC Apr98
