Freedom Road

lyrics

One of these days, sun's gonna rise
Things are gonna look different around here
Bells are gonna ring and people gonna sing
And every voice is gonna come out clear

One of these days, better not be long
People gonna have to see what's wrong
Open our eyes, get wise
Got to quit passing these sins along

Cause there's too much suffering in this world
Too much lying in this world
Too much pressure in this world
Too much dying in this world

We're running out of matches, running out of time
Forgotten crimes will meet our eyes
Go see outside what starts in pride,
Muck in the ocean, smoke in the skies

We're getting close to the beginning
Getting closer to the end
Don't you know it, if we blow it
We don't get to start again

Hold a candle, while you might,
Anyone may bear a light,
Got to run, got to fight
Got to get some sleep tonight

Tell me again about heaven on the hill
Tell me again you love me true
I think I can, I hope I will
Go so far as to trust in you

And I hope that you are not in trouble
I hope that you are never lost
Though if you are, by cross or star,
We'll meet again in the holocaust

We don't count the cost of the struggle
We don't mind the weight of the load
We carry through the lies and poison
Gonna stagger down Freedom Road

One of these days, sun's gonna rise
Things are gonna look different around here
Bells are gonna ring and people gonna sing
And every voice is gonna come out clear
