I'm a songwriter

I'm a freedom fighter

I'm a rebel

For my people 2x

There is a struggle going on

Many sea miles away

In West Papua

Melanesia

In the Pacific Ocean

Let my people go

Let my people go...2x

This are the words of Martin Luther King

Let my people go

This are the words of Nelson Mandela

Let my people go

Let my people go

Let my people go...2xI'm a songwriter

I'm a freedom fighter

I'm a rebel

For my people 2x
