Freedom train

It's been a long time comin'

Now it's time to dance

By the golden thread of circumstance

You're destiny come dressed as chance

We've been a long time comin'

To this romance

Now I'm an honest man

But the time has come

And I'm a peaceful man

The peace before the storm

I think I hear my train

I think I hear my freedom train

I think I hear my freedom train

I think I hear my freedom train

I think I hear my freedom train

Now the world is changin'

Faster than we know

In these troubled lands

Where hate dies slow

I think a train of change

Is comin' down the track

Comin' right this way

It ain't turning back

Now I'm an honest man

With a message of hope

And I'm a peaceful man

On a slippery slope

I think I hear my train

I think I hear my freedom train

I think I hear my freedom train

I think I hear my freedom train

I think I hear my freedom train

Comin' down the track

Comin' down the track
