Hothouse Flowers

Of The People

Well a man on his own stand up for what he believes to be
He'll give all luxury up for the sake of a vision of freedom
He walked 4000 miles across the green
Because he knows he's had a dream
And the old man he should fall
He wants to change the white man's laws

For the people
Free the people
Are the people
Be the people
For the future
Of the children
And the freedom
Of the people

For the people
Free the people
Let the people
Be the people
For the future
Of the children
And the freedom
Of the people

He has his vision held on a bright light he sees in the distance
His children follow him from generation to generation
This is not the golden age
We're sending rockets into space
We don't mind if we shall fall
We gotta change the white man's laws

For the people
Free the people
Let the people
Be the people
For the future
Of the children
And the freedom
Of the people

For the people
Free the people
Let the people
Be the people
For the future
Of the children
And the freedom
Of the people

Oh love

You see it's easier now
There's a dreammaker making a shape
Coming through to you
You see you're not dreaming now
No no
And the light comes in
And then it's falling on the world
And the light is coming in
And you can see it in the child, the man, the boy and girl

Come on

For the people
Free the people
Let the people
Be the people
For the future
Of the children
And the freedom
Of the people

For the people
Free the people
Let the people
Be the people
For the future
Of the children
And the freedom
Of the people
