35. Simple Song Of Freedom by Bobby Darin

Fri Apr 22, 2016, 10:54 AM

Apr 2016

"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"...

"When this song was first written and sung it spoke volumes of what people around the world were saying, "We don't want a war".

"As usual the politicians never listen but do what they want."

"This song that Bobby Darin penned and recorded in the sixties was then and still is now very profound. Nothing has changed, "We the people don't want a war".
