Freedom Train

Kate Campbell


Moses stood 
On the mountain
Looked over 
To the promised land
Took his people 
Through the valley
Said i hope 
You understand 

I may not get 
There with you
Keep on marching 
Just the same
There ain't 
No turning back 
It's a one-way track
When you jump 
That freedom train

They were running 
Through the darkness
They were bleeding 
From the briars
Drowning out 
Those howling dogs
They heard miss 
Tubman's cry

Now i'm not worried 
About anything
I'm not 
Fearing any man
I have stood 
On the mountain
I have seen 
The promised land
