'People Got to Be Free'
by The Rascals

All the world over, so easy to see
People everywhere just wanna be free

Listen, please listen, that's the way it should be
Peace in the valley, people got to be free

You should see, what a lovely, lovely world this would be
If everyone learned to live together

It seems to me such an easy, easy thing this would be
Why can't you and me learn to love one another

All the world over, so easy to see
People everywhere just wanna be free
I can't understand it, so simple to me
People everywhere just got to be free

Ah, ah, yeah . . . ah, ah, yeah

If there's a man who is down and needs a helping hand
All it takes is you to understand and to see him through

Seems to me, we got to solve it individually
And I'll do unto you what you do to me
There'll be shoutin' from the mountains on out to sea
(out to the sea)

No two ways about it, people have to be free
(they got to be free)
Ask me my opinion, my opinion will be
(ah-ha)

It's a natural situation for a man to be free
Oh, what a feelin's just come over me
Enough to move a mountain, make a blind man see
Everybody's dancin', come on, let's go see
Peace in the valley, now they want to be free

This song is about Martin Luther King, Jr. and it is rather clear how. It is about peace and how great it would be if everyone could be free and shit.

I love this song so much, people. The lyrics alone are amazing but to hear it to music is simply magical.
