Can anyone make a difference anymore?
Now, let the Freedom Train come zooming down the track
A giant man with a heavenly voice
A voice so pure, a vision so clear
A voice so pure, a vision so clear
The CIA says you're a guilty man
A voice so pure, a vision so clear
Sing it loud, sing it proud
Just stopping in the fields in the broad daylight
I've gotta learn to live like you
Can anyone write a protest song?
And there won't be no kinda color lines
Sing it loud, sing it proud
Learn to sing like you
Learn to sing like you
I will be heard, I will be found
No passport 'til 1958
And no lily white committees, politicians of note
Pinky lefty revolutionary
Burnt at the stake for
Never got past sleepy Moscow
Learn to sing like you
Not stopping at no stations marked colored nor white
Stopping in the country in the wide open air
I gotta learn to live like you
I gotta learn to live like you
Went to Cuba to meet Castro
Beneath the lie of the USA
Gleaming in the sunlight for white and black
The Freedom Train will be yours and mine
McCarthy poisoned through with hate
MK Ultra turned you paranoid
Where there never was a Jim Crow sign nowhere
Say what you want
Will we see the likes of you again?
Nor poll tax layer through which colored can't vote
Say what you want
Liberty lost still buried today
