Lyrics
Ticket
[Verse 1]
You can only ride on one ticket,
And the ticket?s stamped for one destination.
You got your ticket at the boarding dock,
But will you ride the line until the last station?
[Chorus]
I?m a rebel to the rebellion;
Some fruit is just left better on the tree.
I?m changing lives, and I?m changing lines
From the Independence to the Liberty.
[Verse 2]
You can ride that old Independence;
They say that line is headed for freedom;
But now I see we?re headed ?way from home,
And what we?re tryin? to flee, I don?t wanna be free from.
[Chorus]
[Drawbridge extended]
I?m gonna ride that train? back home.
I?ve held my flag of independence
Long enough today;
And I?m holding out the white flag;
I am signaling surrender;
Yes, I?m flagging down the line the other way.
[Chorus 2]
?Cause I?m a questioner to the question:
?Can?t we decide for us better than He??
I?ve lived that line, and I?ve loved that lie,
And so it?s from the Independence I?ll be free.
[Drawbridge walk-down]
Way back before we chartered Independence
All were free,
But we lost it, wanting more,
Yes, we sought a better freedom;
And now another ticket pays our liberty,
And so my ticket?s stamped anew,
And I am free.
[Chorus]
