Freedom Road 

Freedom Road 

I walked along a country road 
When I met an unknown friend
He'd travelled many miles
His journey had no end
I said "I'd like to join you...
Just nod if you'll agree"
He whispered in a soft voice
"The road ahead is free"

"We are travellers
Through this learning time
Nothing here is yours
Nothing here is mine
And as we wonder
Down our chosen road
Leave your problems far behind 
As they are your heavy load"

I said "This may sound crazy...
But I don't know who I am.
No one seems to know me...
No one gives a damn"
My friend he looked me in the eyes
Said "You have a soul that's true...
The only friend you need right now...
Is one that walks with you"

"We are travellers
Through this learning time
Nothing here is yours
Nothing here is mine
And as we wonder
Down our chosen road
Leave your worries far behind 
As they are your heavy load"

I listened to the silence
As if to ease my mind
I'd come to seek my freedom
A place thats hard to find
While gazing on a sunset
The sky above turned red
"If you wake to see the rising sun...
Your there" my new friend said

"We are travellers
Through this learning time
Nothing here is yours
Nothing here is mine
And as we wonder
Down our chosen road
Leave your troubles far behind 
As they are your heavy load"

We came upon a mountain 
My feet were worn and tired
It only took the summit view 
To be instantly inspired
The steps that raised us skyward
Left footprints on the ground
"We'll leave them there" my friend did say
"For others freedom bound"

"We are travellers
Through this learning time
Nothing here is yours
Nothing here is mine
And as we wonder
Down our chosen road
Leave your burdens far behind 
As they are your heavy load"

And when we reached the heavens
We gazed upon our miles
Our journey ended silently 
With just a nod and smiles
He carried on his own way
Maybe we'd meet again sometime
Another road now stretched ahead
This freedom road of mine

"We are travellers
Through this learning time
Nothing here is yours
Nothing here is mine
And as we wonder
Down our chosen road
Leave all you're fears behind 
As they are your heavy load"
