Song
Chorus:

Ally, ally, ally, ally oxen free

Ally, ally, ally, ally oxen free

Lyrics:

Time to let the rain fall

Without the help of man

Time to let the trees grow tall

Now if they only can

Time to send a message

Across the land and sea

[CHORUS]

Time to blow the smoke away

And look at the sky again

Time to let our friends all know

That we’d like to begin again

Time to let our children

Live in a land that’s free

[CHORUS]

Bridge

Strong and weak, mild and meek

No more hide and seek

Time to learn the fairness

Of a child’s game

''Time for us to STOP! (pause)''

And learn how to do the same

Time to make our minds up

That the world at last shall be

[CHORUS]
