Barbra Streisand

Songwriter: Barbara Keith

Producer: Richard Perry

Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil he's a liar
Come and save the likes of me
I saw the lives from the streets
As I passed by the other day
I was scared
My knees were weak
I forgot what I had came to say
Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil
He's a liar
Come and save the likes of me
Saw a man walk on water
And everybody looking on
I didn't know
I was his daughter
Till both of us
Had come and gone
Free the people from the fire

Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil
He's a liar
Come and save the likes of me
If you see me in the alley
Looking like I don't belong
You can put me in your deepest valley
I'll still be singing the same old song
Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil he's a liar
Come and save the likes of me
I said free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil he's a liar
Come and save the likes of me
Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil he's a liar
Come and save the likes of me

Barbra Streisand is an Oscar-winning, Tony-winning, Emmy-winning, Golden Globe-winning Broadway legend, film star, movie director and one of the biggest-selling recording artists of all time - a staggering amount of accomplishments for someone whose mother insisted she not to go into show business.

By the time she was sixteen, she’d graduated high school and was living on her own in Manhattan. After winning a talent contest at a gay bar on West 9th Street, Streisand’s ‘spellbinding’ voice quickly became popular at New York clubs and in Broadway shows. After appearances on a number of popular television shows including The Tonight Show, Streisand signed with Columbia Records and released several top 10 albums in the 1960s, scoring two US top 40 hits with “People” and “Second Hand Rose”.

Her success as a recording artist continued through the 1970s with several more gold/platinum-certified albums and four US “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers”, “No More Tears”, the Oscar-winning “The Way We Were”, and the Academy Award-winning “Evergreen (Love Theme from A Star Is Born)”. The 1980s would begin with Streisand’s biggest-selling release of her career Guilty, a collaborative effort with BeeGees member Barry Gibb. It topped the albums chart in several countries and as did its lead single “Woman In Love”.
