Song Lyrics

I'm just a simple man with a simple dream
Hoping the world can see, what it takes to be free
What it takes to have some peace.

Free from all the children, that are naked in the night
Hoping somebody will save them,
from the evils of their plight
We've got to take them back into our arms,
and show them that we care,
And give them the love and shelter,
that takes away all their empty fear.

I'm just a simple man with a simple dream
Hoping the world can see, what it takes to be free,
What it takes to have some peace.

Free from all the bigotry, that is tearing us apart,
It's reaching out across the land,
it's like a shadow in the dark
We've got to join our hearts together,
and build a better way,
And stop all the lies and hatred,
that brings us back to the ancient days.

I'm just a simple man with a simple dream
Hoping the world can see, what it takes to be free,
What it takes to have some peace.

Doo, Doo, Doo

I'm just a simple man with a simple dream
Hoping the world can see, what it takes to be free,
What it takes to have some peace.
Free from all the voices, that are calling out in pain,
Clinging onto lives ravaged by,
the threat that we call AIDS
We've got to stand up all my brothers,
and give them a loving hand,
Bring an end to all this fighting,
that steals away all our precious time.

And the winds of tomorrow,
hold the answers to our faith,
And all we have to do is stop and open up the gate.
I'm just a simple man with a simple dream
Hoping the world can see, what it takes to be free,
What it takes to have some peace.

Doo, Doo, Doo

What it takes to be free
What it takes to have some peace
