Freedom Train

by Ron Wiseman Archives

/
1.
Some men are equal to their generation Some men rise up from where they are Some are loved for overlooking transgressions Some despised for seeing too far And the train keeps on moving Beyond the roads and the ruins where all truth lies Returning those whose names were forgotten When the freedom train arrives - Oh when the freedom train arrives There are seekers who stop among the stations There are some who fall beneath the tracks There are few who arrive at their destination There are many who will be turned back And the train keeps on moving Past the fool who won't hear the whistle cry For those who dies pushing them to safety The freedom train arrives, Oh the freedom train arrives Well they praise those who tear down railway crossings And those who build them will be punished for their crime And those who sit in silence and in comfort In the end the train will pass them by And the train keeps on moving Crushing those who can't do more than close their eyes This is the song that they sang to the gallows When the freedom train arrives, Oh when the freedom train arrives And the train keeps on moving Past the mountains and all the changing tides And those who stood tall will be counted When freedom train arrives, Oh when the freedom train arrives

There's a thief knocking on the door But it's not my door There's a hit man heading up the stairs But it's not my floor There's a freedomg bomb about to blow But it's not my fuse There's a scream coming from the street But it's not my shoes No it's not my shoes Ahh There's a brick falling from the wall But it's not my head There's a snake hiding in the sheets But it's not my bed And there's a deal somebody had to do But it's not my deck And there's a rope swaying in the air But it's not my neck No it's not my shoes Ahh There's a scholar studying in a cell But it's not my light And there's a people struggling to be free But it's not my fight And there's a freedom bomb about to blow But it's not my fuse And there's a scream coming from the street But it's not my shoes, no it's not my shoes Ahhh
