FREE TO BE YOU AND ME
(by Stephen Laurence & Bruce Hart; learned from the CD Free To Be)
There's a land that I see where the children are free,
I see a land bright and clear, and the time's comin' near
Every boy in this land grows to be his own man,
(from miriam berg's folksong collection)
And I say it's not far to this land from where we are,
Take my hand, come with me where the children are free,
And we'll live, take my hand, come with me.
To a land where the children are free
To a land through the green country
To a land by the shining sea
And you and me are free to be you and me.
When we'll live in this land, you and me, hand in hand,
Take my hand, come along, lend your voice to my song,
Come along, take my hand, sing this song.
To a land where the children are free...
To a land through the green country
To a land by the shining sea
To a land where the horses are free
And you and me are free to be you and me.
Every girl, to a woman, as she grows in this land
Take my hand, come with me where the children are free
Come with me, take my hand, and we'll run!
To a land where the children are free...
To a land through the green country
To a land by the shining sea
To a land where the horses are free
To a land where the children are free
And you and me are free to be you and me.
