Song title: Come on (the world is crying for freedom)
Come on (the world is crying for freedom) - Version 1
Well come on are you ready
The temperatures risin' and summer's comin' on
Well come on, go let 'em, get you ready now
Cause the time is right so let's get going
Come on, are you ready
Well the bells are ringing and the people are singing their songs
Won't you come on, don't you fear it
The world is crying for freedom, can't you hear it
Gather up children
And go down to the riverside
Teach them well, show them good
They go no reason to hide
Gather up children
And go down to the riverside
Teach them well, show them good
They go no reason to hide
Come on, gotta be ready now
Time has come, I want to sing a new song
Come on, don't you fear it
The world is crying for freedom
The world is crying for freedom
Can't you hear it Notes:
Two pretty identical versions exist, with some minor differences in the last verse.
