Hush little baby don't you cry
Soon the sun is going to shine
We're going to be free
like the birds and the bees
Running wild in the big country
Got to be free to do what I want
Walk if I want, talk if I want
Got to be free to say
what I want
Make what I want
and play what I want
As free as the birds
up in the sky
As free as the bugs
and the spiders and flies
I don't know how
but I'm gonna try
I've just got to be free
And it won't be long
'cos we're right
And they are wrong
We've got to get out
of this world somehow
We've got to be free
we've got to be free now
Got to be free to laugh
when I want
Think what I want
and cry if I like
Got to be free to do what I want
Say what I want
and swear if I like
As free as the sun
and the moon in the sky
As free as a flea
or a proud butterfly
I don't know how
but I'm gonna try
I've just got to be free
Yeah, we've got to get out
of this world somehow
We've got to be free
we've got to be free now
Got to be free to do what I want
Walk if I want
and talk if I want
Got to be free to say
what I want
Make what I want
and play what I want
I've got to be proud
and stand up straight
And let people see
I ain't nobody's slave
I've got to be free
before it's too late
I've just got to be free
Got to be free to do what I want
Walk if I want, talk if I want
