Freedom Train Lyrics

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
