Ally, Ally Oxen Free - Rod McKuen

Time to let the rain fall without the help of man

Time to let the trees grow tall.

God, if they only can

Time to let our children live in a land that’s free

And ally, ally, ally, ally, oxen free

Time to blow the smoke away and look at the sky again

Time to let our friends know we’d like to begin again

Time to send a message across the land and sea

Ally, ally, ally, ally, oxen free

Strong and weak, mild and meek, no more hide and seek

Time to see the fairness of a children’s game

Time for men to stop and learn to do the same

Time to make our minds up if the world at last will be

Ally, ally, ally, ally, oxen free

(Ally, ally, ally, ally, oxen free)

Ally, ally, ally, ally, oxen free

(Ally, ally, ally, ally, oxen free)
