Lyrics
Freedom Blues
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rode bus and rail, walked many a miles
I've crossed the world, on a ship that flies
So far to make my way
Told what to think, learn what to say
Working so hard, suffering fools
this land I chose where the dollar rules
Working so hard, suffering fools
this land I chose where the dollar rules
I left behind all my good friends and a loving family
To feel the warm embrace of liberty
I'll pay the price and sacrifice to be a part of paradise
Here I will find this dream of mine
I love this new land, the great U.S.A
Where I am free, to have my say
The road, it's high it's low
How far it takes me, I just don't know
Working so hard, suffering fools
this land I chose where the dollar rules
Working so hard, suffering fools
this land I chose where the dollar rules
From round the world, wave after wave, they came to this shore
For opportunity with dignity nothing more
Gave with their hearts worked with their hands, found the Promised Land
As one we will stand As one we will stand
