Don't Ever Take Away My Freedom

Peter Paul And Mary · Other Songs - Peter Paul And Mary

[Chorus]

Don't ever take away my freedom, don't ever take it away

We must cherish and keep that one part of our lives

And the rest we're gonna find one of these days...

One of these days



I always thought that I'd see in my own lifetime

An end to poverty, injustice and war

But now I've learned that that job will take a long, long time

So there's one thing that must endure



[Chorus]



When I am old and thinking over the whole life that I've led

If there's one final wish left to me

I will pray that the children, who are yet to be born,

I will pray that they will always live free



[Chorus]



There is a time for the singing and the sunshine

There is a time for the thunder and the rain

There is a time for the changing of the seasons my friend

But there is one thing we must never change



[Chorus]
