I've got leather on my shoes,
And I've got a dream to live,
There is nothing left to lose,
So I'm going,
I've got a suitcase here in my hand,
And I've got a hungry heart,
And I'm going to join the millions
There before me, on the freedom road.
No-one's coming to my door,
And all my friends are gone,
There's no work here anymore,
It's deserted,
And though I know I hate to leave,
From this land that I love,
There's a new tomorrow waiting,
Yes it's shining on the freedom road,
On the freedom road;
Oh sometimes it's going to be lonely,
Sometimes it will be sad,
But I've got to keep on going,
Until I hold that promised land
In the palm of my hand.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained or won
Without a hard fight,
We would never reach the sun
Without trying,
And when we're a million miles from home,
Out in the starry night,
We will see we're not alone
In the heavens, out on freedom road,
Out on freedom road,
Out on freedom road... out on freedom road.
The Spirit of Man
Into the Light
I'm chasing a shadow, I can't see a thing,
It's dipping and diving like a bird on the wing,
And every time I get near it just seems to slip away;
There's a fighter inside who will never give up,
We are what we are and it's never enough,
Write the words in the sand that this man will come again;
You may run from the sea, and the words disappear,
Oh you may fall to your knees,
But the power is here, to survive;
It's shining again,
It's shining again--the spirit of man,
It's shining again--the spirit of man;
Ah remember the first day of man on the moon,
The whole world was watching, a whole world in tune,
It was hard to believe he was the same as me and you;
Oh, look back to the future and look down the years,
It wasn't all battles and bad news and tears,
We have brought to this place a desire to have a dream;
We may reach for the stars, and fall from the sky,
Oh, in the darkest hour the spirit of man comes to life;
It's shining again--the spirit of man,
It's shining again--the spirit of man,
It's shining again--the spirit of man;
And we work--aha--for the good things that we can have,
Yeah we work--aha--for the family and home,
Yeah we work--aha--for the D-Mark and the dollar,
Yeah we work--aha--for the woman on the phone,
Yeah we work--aha--for that moment of elation,
Yeah we work--aha--for a chance to get away,
And we work--aha--just to let imagination,
Come inside and take me away;
We may reach for the stars, and fall from the sky,
Ooh, in the darkest hour the spirit of man comes to life;
It's shining again--the spirit of man,
It's shining again--the spirit of man,
It's shining again--the spirit of man.
