Let the People Live Free

This song was written by students at the Youth Reach, Edenderry on the 15th May 2026

Verse 1
Can wars be stopped?
Can wars be prevented?
It’s time for wars
To be reinvented?
All these people running from home
With nowhere to call their home
Like a flock of birds following the heat
Families so distant with nowhere to meet

Chorus 1
Let the people live free
From your fascist regime
From your sickening ideal dream
Lying to them for political greed
Caged like animals
Starved and deprived
You clink your glasses
Held up to the sky

Verse 2
Every person should be treated the same
Everybody should be respected the same
Every animal should be treated with respect
Our people should take time to reflect
Our environment should be kept well
Our economy should be kept together to gel

Chorus 2
Let the people live free
From your fascist regime
From your ideal dream
Lying to them for political greed
Caged in like animals
Starved and deprived
You clink your glasses
Held up to the sky

Bridge
Why are the council building houses
for people coming from different countries
when there is a bad homeless problem in Ireland?

Chorus 3
Let the people live free
From your fascist regime
From your ideal dream
Lying to them for political greed
Caged in like animals
Starved and deprived
You clink your glasses
Held up to the sky
