Lyrics

ROAD TO FREEDOM
words & music by Grayson Hugh

Over the tops of mountains
over the western snow
watching the river wander
just a vein of silver far below

He’s leaving the lonesome city
flying out of the past
looking for the future
will it ever, ever, ever last?
will it ever, ever, ever last?

Out on the road to freedom
some will stumble and some will fall
out on the road to freedom
lonely, tired and frightened
all but stranded
on the road to freedom

They take away your money
and they take away your name
and they take the ground
that you're standing on
but they never ever take the blame
no they never ever take the blame

Out on the road to freedom
some will leave and some will stay
out on the road to freedom
it takes more than one
to pave the way
on the road to freedom

Through so many bright clouds
and skies
the world is watching you
and they’re dreaming with your eyes

You look out on the faces
as you stand up from your chair
but your mind return to elsewhere
to the fires that are burning there
they’re burning, burning
burning there

Out on the road to freedom
some will stumble and some will fall
out on the road to freedom
lonely, tired and about to fall

Out on the road to freedom
some will leave and some will stay
out on the road to freedom
it takes more than one
to pave the way
on the road to freedom
hey baby
I want you to follow me
I don't know if you can
well it's a far way babe
on the road to freedom
