Where are you now? |
|
Broken up or still around? |
|
The CIA says you're a guilty man |
|
Will we see the likes of you again? |
|
Can anyone make a difference anymore? |
|
Can anyone write a protest song? |
|
Pinky lefty revolutionary |
|
Burnt at the stake for |
|
A voice so pure, a vision so clear |
|
I've gotta learn to live like you |
|
Learn to sing like you |
|
Went to Cuba to meet |
|
CastroNever got past sleepy |
|
MoscowA giant man with a heavenly voice |
|
MK Ultra turned you paranoid |
|
No passport 'til 1958 |
|
McCarthy poisoned through with hate |
|
Liberty lost still buried today |
|
Beneath the lie of the |
|
USASay what you want |
|
Say what you want |
|
A voice so pure, a vision so clear |
|
I gotta learn to live like you |
|
Learn to sing like you |
|
Now, let the |
|
Freedom Train come zooming down the track |
|
Gleaming in the sunlight for white and black |
|
Not stopping at no stations marked colored nor white |
|
Just stopping in the fields in the broad daylight |
|
Stopping in the country in the wide open air |
|
Where there never was a |
|
Jim Crow sign nowhere |
|
And no lily white committees, politicians of note |
|
Nor poll tax layer through which colored can't vote |
|
And there won't be no kinda color lines |
|
The Freedom |
|
Train will be yours and mine |
|
A voice so pure, a vision so clear |
|
I gotta learn to live like you |
|
Learn to sing like you |
|
Sing it loud, sing it proud |
|
I will be heard, |
|
I will be found |
|
Sing it loud, sing it proud |
|
I will be heard, |
|
I will be found |
