Freedom Train
Click here to Play
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.
But the train
keeps on moving
Beyond the roads and the ruins where all truth
lies
Returning those whose names where 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.
But the train keeps on moving
Past the fools who don't hear the
whistle blow
And for those who died pushing them to safety
The freedom
train arrives
Only for them the freedom train arrives
They will praise
those who tear down railway crossings
Those who build them will be punished
for their crimes
And those who sit in silence and in comfort
In the end
the train is going to pass them by
And the train keeps on moving
Crushing
those who won'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
Beyond the mountains and all the
changing tides
And those who stood tall will be counted
When the freedom
train arrives
Oh when the freedom train arrives.
