WHERE ARE YOU NOW
BROKEN UP OR STILL AROUND
THE CIA SAYS YOU'RE A GUILTY MAN
WILL WE SEE THE LIKES OF YOU AGAIN

CAN ANYONE MAKE A DIFFERENCE ANYMORE
CAN ANYONE WRITE A PROTEST SONG
PINKY LEFTY REVOLUTIONARY
BURNT AT THE STAKE FOR?

A VOICE SO PURE - A VISION SO CLEAR
I'VE GOTTA LEARN TO LIVE LIKE YOU
LEARN TO SING LIKE YOU

WENT TO CUBA TO MEET CASTRO
NEVER GOT PAST SLEEPY MOSCOW
A GIANT MAN WITH A HEAVENLY VOICE
MK ULTRA TURNED YOU PARANOID

NO PASSPORT TILL 1958
MCCARTHY POISENED THROUGH WITH HATE
LIBERTY LOST STILL BURIED TODAY
BENEATH THE LIE OF THE USA

A VOICE SO PURE - A VISION SO CLEAR
I GOTTA LEARN TO LIVE LIKE YOU
LEARN TO SING LIKE YOU

NOW LET THE FREEDOM TRAIN COME ZOOMING DOWN THE TRACK
GLEAMING IN THE SUNLIGHT FOR WHITE AND BLACK
NOT STOPPIN' AT NO STATIONS MARKED COLORED NOR WHITE
JUST STOPPIN' IN THE FIELDS IN THE BROAD DAYLIGHT
STOPPIN' IN THE COUNTRY IN THE WIDE-OPEN AIR
WHERE THERE NEVER WAS A JIM CROW SIGN NOWHERE
AND NO LILLY-WHITE COMMITTEES, POLITICIANS OF NOTE
NOR POLL TAX LAYER THROUGH WHICH COLORED CAN'T VOTE
AND THERE WON'T BE NO KINDA COLOR LINES
THE FREEDOM TRAIN WILL BE YOURS AND MINE

A VOICE SO PURE - A VISION SO CLEAR
I GOTTA LEARN TO LIVE LIKE YOU
LEARN TO SING LIKE YOU

SING IT LOUD - SING IT PROUD
I WILL BE HEARD I WILL BE FOUND

SING IT LOUD - SING IT PROUD
I WILL BE HEARD I WILL BE FOUND
