(Andrew Baird)

Met an old man on the bus today
He had a big smile and a strange old way
He seemed to know where I was coming from
And where I was going to
He said,  “Life’s a journey that you undertake;
Sometimes fast and sometimes slow;
You don’t always choose your traveling companions
But that’s just the way it goes…”
It’s a long and winding road

Chorus: Ayayayayah!
            The Freedom Train’s just around the corner
            Ayayayayah!
            The Freedom Train’s just around the bend

Got me thinking what the old man said
With my own journey running through my head
Seems life’s been spinning around and around
With all that I’m going through
Coz I’ve been traveling with this heavy load
For miles and miles on this dead end road
I stop at every corner to check my direction
But I’m just lost in this maze..
It’s a long and winding road…

Chorus

Well sure enough I caught this freedom train
And ever since then I’ve never been the same
It’s just like the dawn gets brighter and brighter
I’m living for everyday
Coz my fares paid to the end of the road
And all my heavy bags I had to leave behind
I feel like I’m flying way up in the clouds
And I’m happy;
So happy!
Now I wanna shout to all the world

Chorus
