People want to be free, people got to be free.
No matter what colour, class or creed you may be,
I want you to be merry - I hope you're feelin' irie.
'Cause I've seen people dancing in the street,
Some don't have a bite to eat.
But them a make merry,
So hot, them a make merry.
Some try to put the best outside,
Some try to find a place to hide,
What you sow, it's that you reap,
Silent river runs deep, yeah, oh yeah.
See, never give a man, more than he can bear,
What about your time when you ought to get your share.
What I mean to say, that, if you're wrong, won't you say you're wrong.
'Cause this race is not for the swift,
Neither does the battle for the strong.
So my people, does not care of what the crisis may be,
Them a make merry, them a make merry,
Some a rock steady, dancing in the street.
Dem say this waiting might be long,
Dem want I to left right - do wrong.
But this race is not for the swift,
Neither does the battle for the strong.
So my people does not care of what this crisis may be,
Dem a make merry, dem a make merry,
Yet dem belly empty,
Dem a make merry..
