We Will Be Free

about

I was inspired this past Monday, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, to write a new song. Thinking of Dr. King, and how the folk music scene of Greenwich Village had played such a big role in his movement, the words and music for "We Will Be Free" seemed to flow freely. Luckily I was able to record it right away. I posted the video instantly on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.

Two days later, on Wednesday, I was delighted that it was played as part of the Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice's Inauguration Day Special Power Hour, a celebration honoring the incoming administration.

Tonight I made a special mix for Bandcamp, using all the original elements that I recorded on MLK Day. I'm happy to share with you here.

I hope you enjoy it.

❤ Richard Barone

lyrics

We Will Be Free

All I want is what you want
and we will be free.
What you want is what I want
we will be free.

They may try to take it back
They may try to cheat
But all I want is what you want
We will be free.

Instrumental

If they make you give up hope
Let me make you see
that all I want is what you want
and we will be free.

Short Instrumental

We will be free x2

They may try to take it back
They may try to cheat
But all I want is what you want
We will be free.

All we want, all we want
We will be free x3
