Lyrics
From Grammy-nominated Johnathan Sprout!
TAKE A RIDE
(Words & music by Jonathan Sprout & Dave Kinnoin)
You wake up every morning
To a life that's not your own.
You belong to one called "master"
With a heart as hard as stone.
If you're sick and tired of living
Like a dog on a chain,
Climb aboard the freedom train.
REFRAIN: Take a ride. Take a ride.
Take a ride on the Underground Railroad with me.
Keep it movin' ever closer
To that day we all are free.
Be brave and just remember
Dreams cannot be sold.
I am reaching out to take you
Where your chains have no hold.
So wish upon the North Star
And you won't wish in vain
If you climb aboard this freedom train.
REFRAIN
A slave's life ain't worth livin'
So, don't look back.
Just keep on huggin' that dream
Along this freedom track.
REFRAIN
