THE RIGHT TO BE FREE

Composed by Jonas

(C)When I was a young boy my mother (Dm)used to tell me
Every(F)thing was gonna be al(G)right
When I grew (C)older things were (Am)different then
I faced the (F)world to struggle for the (G)right

Chorus:
The right to be (C)free, the right to be (Em)free
The right to (F)be (G)what I've got to (C)be

A (C)child is born in the (Em)darkness of night
So (F)desperately grasping each (C)breath of its life
So(C)ciety says we must (Em)bring him up right
But never (F)give him the chance to (C)walk in the light(G)

Chorus:
With the right to be (C)free, the right to be (Em)free
The right to (F)be (G)what he's got to (C)be

(C)What will you gain if the (Em)whole world comes kneeling
(F)Bowing themselves at the (C)soles of your feet?
(C)All of the while your (Em)soul is in torment
(F)Knowing that shortly these (C)things you can't keep(G)

Chorus:
You've got the right to be (C)free, the right to be (Em)free
The right to (F)be (G)what you've got to (C)be

(C)Come with me now, (Em)all is forgiven
If you'll (F)turn your face to the (C)hungry and poor
(C)We are Love's children, our (Em)Kingdom is Heaven
If you (F)give what you have God can (C)give you more(G)

[Repeat Chorus]
