Freedom Train

lyrics

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
