That we can read up Virginia,
said of liberties within ya
Are the priceless things you
oughta cherish
Some I know can take or leave
it, talk a lot but half believe it,
As for me I'll have it all or
perish.
Though the man who said those
words is gone now,
The thought behind his noble
speech lives on now.
Free for all, we like the kind
of living that is free for all.
And Lady Luck is giving out
those priceless things,
A chance to sing and wake up
every morning hearing freedom ring,
Free for all, forget about your
troubles, there is free for all right here,
Just remember, son, life is so
much fun, when it's free for all.
