Over the tops of manhands
Just a vein of silver high below
He's leaving the lonesome city,
will it ever, ever, ever last?
Will it ever, ever, ever last?
And on the road to freedom,
some will stumble and some will fall
And on the road to freedom
Lonely, tired and frightened
They take away your money
And they take away your land
But they never ever take the blame
Oh, they never ever take the blame
And on the road to freedom
Some will leave and some will stay
And on the road to freedom
It takes more than one to pave the way
Through so many bright clouds and skies
The world is watching you
I've been dreamin' with you
You look out on the faces
As you stand up from your chair
Your mind returns to elsewhere
To the fires that are burning there
Yeah, all will run to freedom
Some will stumble and some will fall
And on the road to freedom
Lonely, tired, and about to fall
And on the road to freedom
Some will eat and some will stay
And on the road to freedom
It takes more than one to pay
Hey baby I want you to follow me
