Lyrics:

[Chorus]
'Said you better let my
Let my people go
'Said you better let my
Let my people go

[Verse 1]
I'm talkin' 'bout the babies starvin' to death
I'm talkin' 'bout the children that can't help themselves
I'm talkin' 'bout the people that got nothin' to keep
I'm talkin' 'bout the people that don't have the freedom of speech

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Man to your rocket ship
Take you to the moon
A million dollar mission
Just to bring back a piece of rock
We got starvation, panic across the land
And here's a fool in a rocket ship
Tryina' be superman

[Chorus]

[Backup singers]
(Humming)
Let him go
Let him go
Let him go
Let him go
(Humming)

[Verse 3]
Give us a little island
An island in the sea
Give us a sea coming in
It's two so we can work the man
We don't need your money
Keep your anger and grief
We just want us a happy place
Where black men and white men can live in piece

[Chorus]
