ride that train ride that train through the night there's a freedom train comin', so i'm drummin' and strummin' to keep from bummin' around with my face to the ground, and the sound gives me wings, and i can fly when i sing, and the beat keeps me up in the air... listen, this train is not for profit, and these tickets are not for sale, but hop on board good prophet, and tell us all your tale i'm strummin' with hummingbirds, my nectar is the spoken word, my flower is the universe, my power is to break the curse of a mind that wants to see the worst first before the best gets a chance to fill my chest with hope so boogie down to the track, take a load off your back, liberate from the invisible chains, cuz freedom is a creature in each and everybody and that creature should never be tamed a long and winding road brought me to the station, i leave behind my load, there's nothing here worth taking, hear that whistle blow, feel the earth beneath me shaking, the freedom train is comin' round the bend ... (Redwood) oh great spirit, i surrender, to these holy embers burning within... so many lifetimes stuck in prisons of the mind, but then we see we are the jailor, we don't have to seek far to find, set your rivers free, cuz rivers wanna flow to the sea, witness with compassion to complete the release, the crystal rivers of your tears bring life to the ravines, pain may not be chosen, but suffering is but a state of mind, when you let your walls fall, you're a part of it all, when you hop on that train and ride so ride that train ride that train through the night you can never be late and you're always on time get on when you're ready and enjoy the ride on the freedom train freedom train cuz there ain't no tickets, no fees or fines, you can ride it all day, you can ride it all night, on the freedom train freedom train

and i dont know why, i'm always leaving, i guess that just must be what's needed, and you know it's not, it's not always easy, and my heart is always bleeding but i still believe in us i still believe and trust i still believe and trust and i don't know why i'm always going but i know i must keep going, walls are fallin' and the river's flowin' everything in perfect motion perfect motion now i know that every step i take no matter how far way is a step that i must take to lead me back to you and every step i take no matter how far away is a step that i must take to led me back to you to you to you this howlin's for you i'm howlin' for you i'm howlin' for you it's always for you oh halleluh halleluh halleluh and i believe this road that i'm travelin' on is the road that will lead me to your door and i believe this road that i'm travelin' on is the road that will lead me back home this road is long and winding but i will walk to find the place where all our golden dreams will align this road is long and winding but we will find that place where all our golden dreams will align and i believe this road that i'm travelin' on is the road that will lead me to your door and i believe this road that i'm travelin' on is the road that will lead me back home

and i've loved you every lifetime since this earth has been blue and in this life or the next one i will be there with you call me crazy maybe lovesick or maybe just a fool but this howlin' from the mountains is always for you for you yemmaya true and wild how i lose the miles in your two green eyes and i am but a standing wave how i move with you in fluid ways how we rise and fall right into place and we crash and break just to be made be made anew anew oh the soul is an ocean body is a wave let's break together tonight let's break together tonight as we awake together tonight ... the tides of the moon hurricanes and monsoons everything is a'movin' and we move with it too when we break together tonight we awake together tonight ashes to dust molecules to molecules water to water and i turn back into you when we break together tonight we awake together tonight let's awake together tonight let's awake together tonight let's shake the tethers and ties let's take these feathers and fly over the moon
