Leslie Fish Lyrics
"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 tumble, and you'd never lose a fight?
get back up on your feet and do it right!

freedom road is a long haul,
freedom road is a long haul,
but it's worth the ride,
even if you never get there at all!

did you think the first leader, come preachin' down the pike,
could give you one big answer, as if we were all alike?
well, there's no set salvation! you should have known all along,
that jesus, marx, and your guru could be wrong!

freedom road is a long haul,
freedom road is a long haul,
but it's worth the ride,
even if you never get there at all!

this is the lonesome valley that you've gotta walk yourself.
go out and find your answers. you can't take them off the shelf.
and you've gotta make tomorrow from just what you've got today,
so get up off of your ass and find a way!

freedom road is a long haul,
freedom road is a long haul,
but it's worth the ride,
even if you never get there at all!

(instumental interlude)

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, and one's to get home free,
and second best is nothin' you wanna see!

freedom road is a long haul,
freedom road is a long haul,
but it's worth the ride,
even if you never get there at all!
