    Default What happened to "The Bells" ?

    I just bought a CD of "The Bells" from Amazon, but it doesn't contain "Simple Song of Freedom".....like the original (8-track) did. Not only that...I can't find any sound files of their tunes at all ('xcept maybe {yawn} "Stay Awhile").

    What's up with that? Anyone have the lyrics and sound file for their "Simple Song of Freedom" ?

    Thanks....this group rocks !!!

    Don't have the audio. The lyrics should be the same as when Bobby Darin penned them.

    Come and sing a simple song of freedom
    Sing it like you've never sung before
    Let it fill the air
    Tell the people everywhere
    We, the people here, don't want a war

    Hey there, Mister Black Man can you hear me?
    I don't want your diamonds or your game
    I do want to be someone known to you as me
    and I will bet my life you want the same

    Come and sing a simple song of freedom
    Sing it like you've never sung before
    Let it fill the air
    Tell the people everywhere
    We, the people here, don't want a war

    Seven hundred million are enlisted
    Most of what you read, most of what you read, is made of lies
    But speaking one to one, ain't it everybody's sun
    To wake to in the morning when we rise?

    Come and sing a simple song of freedom
    Sing it like you've never sung, never sung, before
    Let it fill the air
    Tell the people everywhere
    We, the people here, don't want a war

    No doubt some folks enjoy doin' battle
    Like presidents, prime ministers and kings
    So let's all build them shelves so they can fight among themselves
    and leave us be those who want to sing

    Come and sing a simple song of freedom
    Sing it like you've never, ever, sung before
    Let it fill the air
    Tell the people everywhere
    We, the people here, don't want a war

    Come and sing a simple song of freedom
    Sing it like you've never, ever, sung before
    Speaking one to one
    Ain't it everybody's sun
    To wake to in the morning when we rise
    Speaking one to one
    Ain't it everybody's sun
    To wake to in the morning when we rise

    Hmmm....I didn't realize there were so many lyrics. Maybe the Bells did a shorter version ? I try to sing along with the lyrics you provided and I get lost. Hmmm, maybe I have to find the audio to be sure.
