Where are you now?
  Broken up or still around?
  The CIA says you're a guilty man
  Will we see the likes of you again?
  
  Can anyone make a difference anymore?
  Can anyone write a protest song?
  Pinky lefty revolutionary
  Burnt at the stake for
  
  A voice so pure - a vision so clear
  I've gotta learn to live like you
  Learn to sing like you
  
  Went to Cuba to meet Castro
  Never got past sleepy Moscow
  A giant man with a heavenly voice
  MK Ultra turned you paranoid
  
  No passport 'til 1958
  McCarthy poisoned through with hate
  Liberty lost still buried today
  Beneath the lie of the USA
  
  Say what you want
  Say what you want
  
  A voice so pure - a vision so clear
  I've gotta learn to live like you
  Learn to sing like you
  
  Now let the Freedom Train come zooming down the track
  Gleaming in the sunlight for white and black
  Not stopping at no stations marked colored nor white
  Just stopping in the fields in the broad daylight
  
  Stopping in the country in the wide open air
  Where there never was a Jim Crow sign nowhere
  And no lilly-white committees, politicians of note
  Nor poll tax layer through which colored can't vote
  
  And there won't be no kinda color lines
  The Freedom Train will be yours
  And mine
  
  A voice so pure - a vision so clear
  I've gotta learn to live like you
  Learn to sing like you
  
  Sing it loud, sing it proud
  I will be heard, I will be found
  Sing it loud, sing it proud
  I will be heard, I will be found
