Laws are 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.
[C]Free the [G]people,[Em][C] let them [D]have their[G] say
[C]Free the[G] people,[Em] [C]let them [D]see the light of [G]day [C] [G] [C]
The[G] dismal was [Bm]breaking when they[Em] took her man away
Not[C] knowing [Am]what was his[D] crime
Just[G] what he was [Bm]guilty of not [Em]one of them could say
But [C]they think of [D]something in [G]time
He[C] says [D]"Goodbye and re[G]member,[C] we shall [C/B][Am][G]over[D]come"
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
 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
