I’m Talkin’ ’Bout Freedom Songtext
von Syl Johnson

When you hear what I gotta say
I′m sure you won't be able to turn your head away
′Cause what I'm gonna talk about
Nobody, nobody, nobody wants to be without

Makes no difference
Who you are
Or what color you happen to be
As long as you're alive and breathing
This is got to be
One of your needs

I′m talkin′ about freedom
I'm talkin′ about freedom, yeah
I'm talkin′ about freedom, yeah
I'm talkin′ about freedom, yo
Freedom for you and me
And every living thing that breathe


When you see how free
The birds fly in the sky
You gonna have to say
"My, oh my, oh my, oh my..."
And all of the water that's in the sea
Oh, how it flows so free

Makes no difference
Who you are
Or what color you happen to be
As long as you're alive and breathing
This is got to be
One of your needs

I′m talkin′ about freedom, yo
I'm talkin′ about freedom
I'm talkin′ about freedom
I'm talkin′ about freedom

Oh, what a wonderful world this would be
If everybody could live free

Freedom for you and me
And every living thing that breathe

Oh, your mama needs freedom, your daddy, your li'l sister needs freedom, yo
Freedom to do as I choose to do
Come on, gimme some freedom
I want some freedom, come on, come on, come on, gimme some freedom, yo
Gimme some freedom


Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom
Your mama, your sister, your daddy
