Float like a butterfly sting like a bee
Thus spoke the prophet Muhammad Ali
Free Mike Tyson and Ice T
Free every mother and the BBC
One for sorrow two for joy
Three for a girl and four for a boy
Free the police and the CIA
Reggie Kray and the IRA

Free yourself
Free yourself

Free your conscience free your soul
Free your mind and your ass will follow
Free the heroes and villains too
Chinaman caucasian blackman Jew
Free Mary Jo Anna and LSD
Free every mother plus you and me
Free Mao Tse Tung and JFK
Jesus Christ and the USA

I know about the way you feel
'Cause I can feel your pain
I know about the way you feel
It's happening to me again

Free yourself
Free yourself

Float like a butterfly sting like a bee
Thus spoke the prophet Muhammad Ali

I know about the way you feel
'Cause I can feel your pain
I know about the way you feel
It's happening to me again

Free yourself
Free yourself
