The Road to Freedom lyrics

I feel the wind blowing through my doorway

It's telling me that the summer's gone

And the winter waits in shadow

Waiting with the storm

I am old and my bones are weary

And my son he is all I have

But he has gone to fight for freedom

Leaving with my heart

All my life I have loved this land

Worked it with my hands

But can this freedom send the rain

When seed is in the ground

Can this freedom heal the pain

And bring my boy back to me again?

Oh oh oh...

I watched them sail from the rocks below me,

'Twas like the sea in its endless rage,

Many fall on the road to freedom

Dying on the stones

All my life I have loved this land

Worked it with my hands

But can your freedom send the rain

When seed is in the ground?

Can your freedom heal the pain

And bring my boy back to me again?

Oh oh oh...

Late last night, as the world was sleeping

I dreamed my boy, he was calling out,

'cos he was lost in some dark forest, and

Snow was falling down, falling on the ground......

Oh oh oh...
