Let us be free
Let us be free to speak
Let us be free to be ourselves.
Let us be free to love

Oh who are you to tell us what we can and cannot do.
Who are you to tell us what we can and cannot say
Who are you to tell us, who we can and cannot love

Let us be
Let us be
Let us say what we will, do what we will
And i assure you, we will leave you be
