I've got leather on my shoes

And I've got a dream to live

There is nothing left to lose

So I'm going I've got a suitcase here in my hand

And I've got a hungry heart

And I'm going to join the millions

There before me on the freedom road No-one's coming to my door

And all my friends are gone

And there's no work here anymore

It's deserted And though I know I hate to leave

From this land that I love

There's a new tomorrow waiting

Yes, it's shining on the freedom road

On the freedom road Oh, sometimes it's going to be lonely

Sometimes it will be sad

But I've got to keep on going

Until I hold that promised land

In the palm of my hand Nothing ventured nothing gained or won

Without a hard fight

We would never reach the sun

Without trying And when we're a million miles from home

Out in the starry night

We will see we're not alone

In the heavens out on freedom road

Out on freedom road Out on freedom road

Out on freedom road
