Never, never knew that the time would come,
When every man's got find where he does come from.
Never, never knew that the time would come,
When every fig must find its fig tree.
Jump little figs into your trees,
And say you are free, say you are free.
I've been rebuked and I've been scorned,
Rejected of men, now I'm born to live anew,
So won't you too, my loved ones drink new wine with me,
Let's live in love in peace and harmony,
And say we are free, say we are free.
In my (little) fig tree, there I wanna be, so safe and free.
In my (little) fig tree, there I long to be, from all misery.
In my (little) fig tree, there I wanna be, so safe and free.
In my (little) fig tree, there I long to be, from all misery.
(..)
Now every man is a man and every mickle make a muckle,
Don't free some and put some in a shackle.
For now is the time and the time is now,
When we should live like in the days of old,
When every sheep had their fold,
To say they are free, to say they are free.
In my (little) fig tree, there I wanna be, so safe and free.
In my (little) fig tree, there I long to be, from all misery.
In my (little) fig tree, there I wanna be, so safe and free.
In my (little) fig tree, there I long to be, from all misery.
