(R.Ballard)

Free like a bird as it flies,

Free like an old man that dies,

Just like a stream or a rose growing wild,

Somewhere there's someone walkin' the road

Somewhere someone who carries a load,

Don't look too far to see somewhere there's a man.



Chained, chained, chained, chained.

God bring the day, God bring the day,

God bring the day when we don't have to lay there chained.



God, why don't you let them go?

Why? That's what I want to know.

Pray to the Lord, give thanks that you're free.

Somewhere there's a magical sun,

Somewhere and no evil is done,

Where there's a devil wind, therein a man



Chained, chained, chained, chained.

God bring the day, God bring the day,

God bring the day when we don't have to lay there chained.



Chained, chained, chained, chained.

God bring the day, God bring the day,

God bring the day when we don't have to lay there.-acapo
