[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
