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 got to 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 'til 1958
McCarthy poisoned through with hate
Liberty lost still buried today
Beneath the lie of the USA
Say what you want
Say what you want
A voice so pure
a vision so clear
I've got to 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 stopping at no stations marked colored nor white / Just stopping in the fields in the broad daylight / Stopping 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've got to 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...
