Everything Has Got to Be Free

You can hold back the rolling river

Dam it up to keep me from the sea

But every day, that river's getting stronger

It's gonna break out and roll naturally

Everything has got to be free

River's got to roll to the sea

Everything has got to be free

Why not you? Why not me?

You can shoot down the soaring eagle

Watch him fall and tumble to the ground

But his soul will just keep right on flying

Into the sky, he's homeward bound

Everything has got to be free

Eagle's gonna fly naturally

Everything has got to be free now

Oh, why not you? Why not me?

Well, you can take me, beat me down

Lock me up and you can throw away the key

But a voice will rise from the silence

It will be heard, just wait and see[Chorus]

Everything has got to be free

River's got to roll to the sea (Roll to the sea)

Everything has got to be free now

Oh, why not you? Why not me?

Oh, everything has got (Everything has got to be)

Got to be free now, free now (Got to be free now)

Everything has got to be free now (Free now)

Oh, everything has got to be free now (Got to be free now), free

Everything has got to be free (Got to be free now)

Mmm, everything has got (Everything has got to be), got to be free now
