Wild and Free - Curtis Mayfield

Wild and free is the way I wanna be

Making a new day

Leading in a new way

Respect for those people

Power to the people

Setting down the old crew

Bringing in the brand new

Wild and free, with peace finally

Wild and free, is the way I want my life

Natures way for me

Without pain and strife

Fighting what is wrong

Across the world as well as home

But respect for everybody’s right

Could be really out of sight

Our great obligations

Would not be bad situations

If the young would be listened to

For what they really know is true

Respect for those people

Power to the people

The old people who worry 'bout me

'Cause I am so wild and free

Wild and free, is the way I wanna be

Making a new day

Leading in a new way

Respect for those people

Power to the people
