歌词
[Verse 1]
Freedom
Don't come easy, babe
When your spirit's flyin' up among the clouds
And when you're faced with the wise man's road
You gotta know where to go
[Verse 2]
Sun and the stars
Are a travelin' man's companion
Leadin' the way for his journey
East and west, wherever you go
Mmm-hmm
[Verse 3]
Leadin' the way
The first to come
Showin' the way for his children
Now it's up to you
Do you know you're pullin' through?
Man, it's not easy and you know it
[Verse 4]
Children
In a happy place
They're always smilin'
Showin' all their love with no deception
Treatin' each other like brothers and sisters do, yeah, yeah
[Verse 5]
Children
In a real good place
They're always tryin'
Jumpin' and playin' in the middle of the afternoon
Just havin' a ball, don't worry at all, yeah
[Verse 6]
Leadin' the way
The first to come
Showin' the way for his children
For now it's up to you
Do you know you're pullin' through?
Man, it's not easy and you know it
[Verse 7]
Children
In a happy place
They're always smilin'
Showin' all their love with no deception
Is treatin' each other like brothers and sisters do, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 8]
Children
In a real good place
They're always tryin'
Jumpin' and playin' in the middle of the afternoon
Just havin' a ball, don't worry at all, yeah
