Lyrics:

                                                  
V1

If the world would slow down

And soften just for a minute

I could laugh, I could sing

And I'd sigh 'cause maybe

I could live within it

 

V2

Shattered dreams, shattered schemes

We've all tried to make things happen

But at the end of the day

When it all goes away

Can we live in it together?

 

Chorus

I cannot see how me being free

Means that you must be prevented

From the freedom train

And the winds of change

So that everyone can ride

 

V3

No, it cannot be that we're all free

Someone has to pay the price

So the freedom ride and the weary skies

Is only free to those

Who can afford it

 

Chorus

I cannot see how me being free

Means that you must be prevented

From the freedom train

And the winds of change

So that everyone can ride

 

V4

If the world changes and rearranges

It's current way of thinking

We could all be free

Yes, you, and me

And maybe we all could live within it

 

 

Outro

Oh, the freedom train

Must let everyone ride

The ticket price is love,

That's all it costs

To bring us unity

Oh the freedom train
