Freedom Road

Did you think it was easy to change all of tomorrow?

Did you think you'd never meet time, defeat, and sorrow?

Did you think all the walls would crumble,

And you'd never lose a fight?

Get back up on your feet and do it right.

But it's worth the ride,

Even if you never get there at all.

Could give you one big answer, as if we were all alike?

Well, there's no set salvation

You should've known all along

That Jesus, Marx, and your guru could be wrong.

This is the Lonesome Valley that you've got to walk yourself:

Go out and find the answers - you can' take-em off a shelf!

And you've got to make tomorrow

From just what you've got today

So get up off of your ass and find a way.

Time comes down like thunder, and you can ride or fall

And let the millstones grind you 'till nothing's left at all

But we've got just two choices,

One's to get home free;

And second best is nothing you want to see.
