Freedom is a railroad
Laid by a hundred hands
Each plank a piece of progress
Laid on the last’s demands
Don’t let the tracks grow rusty
Or fall to disrepair
You cannot lose one section
The hands must hold on there
The train it won’t come easy
There’s miles to be laid
And if the track’s not ready
It’ll ever be delayed
For if one board is broken
Or if the track’s cut short
The train will stop its motion
Our freedom will revert
There’s many on the pathway
Would like that train’s arrest
And they will stop at nothing
To put it to the test
Vigilant and wide awake
Our watchful eye we keep
And guard the rails from morn to night
Ne’er drifting off to sleep
For the freedom train is a-coming
The sleepers two by four
Will raise up high all who ride
From prejudice and war
The trail is tough and treacherous
And there's many along the way
Fell in its addition
To where it lies today
They swung the mighty hammer /
All through the darkest night
The sound of justice rang out loud
Oh what a glorious sight
Now join your hands together
With a hundred million more
If all take hold the tether
Of the common human store
The track will not be brokered
By mountain or by shore
But stretch to every corner
Of this wide world and more
Freedom is a railroad
Laid by a hundred hands
Take in your two the next board
It’s on your part it stands

I've been lost
With a blind eye
I've been lost
To the mountainside
I have heard
Of the gentle stream
I have heard
Of the sparrow's dream
In the cave
Where I've spent my life
In the cave
There was not a light
I will climb
To the top of the peak
I will climb
To where the sparrow meets
The sky
High above
Where the sun kisses me
High above
In this majesty
I can be
Like the sparrow dance
I can be
A greater man
The heart that soars is as good as gold
