Hey World
Uh, let me ask you somethin'

Say people, are you ready?
Are you ready to get together
To get together?

But first, well, there's just one thing
We've, we've got to do
You know, we've got to do

Well, first let's set all people free
First let's set all, no matter color or creed
No matter if a mixed breed

Say people, ay, are you ready?
Ah, could you, could you
Tell me if you're ready
To stand up and fight?

Oh, fight for your rights, we're gonna fight for our rights
M I A's, missing in action
Oh, P.O.W's, prisoners of war
Brother South Africans, couple of soldiers
Oh, men abroad, come back ah ya yard, uh

First let's set all people free
First let's set all, no matter color or creed
No matter if a mixed breed, ay, we mean it

First let's set all people free
First let's set all, no matter color or creed
Ay, no matter if a mixed breed

Ay, say people, ay, are you ready?
Ah, could you tell me if you're ready
To get it together?
You better get it together

But, but first there's just
One, one, one thing
Ooh, we've got to do, ooh, we must do

Ay, first let's set all people free
You know first let's set all, no matter color or creed
No matter if a mixed breed, ay, ay, ay

Are you ready?
Could you tell me if you're ready?
To get it together once and forever
Just get it together, once, once and forever, ay

Say people, are you ready?
Say people, are you ready?
All you people, are you ready?

Say people
(Black, white, Indian and Chinese)
Are you ready?
(Uh, uh are you ready?)
Say people, are you ready?
