Well I heard the bells of freedom once

As I was coming down the road

Coming down the road

And I followed that echo wherever it would go

As I was coming down the road

But there always seemed to be trouble in my path

I found my hands tied behind my back

As I was coming down the road

Coming down the road

Well I heard the truth call my name

As I was coming down the road

Coming down the road

And I followed that voice to the valley below

As I was coming down the road

And it took me down a path where I was lost all the time

I found some truth but it could never be mine

As I was coming down the road

Coming down the road

And I saw myself for a second as I really am

As I was coming down the road

And I had to look away in disbelief I suppose

As I was coming down the road

I caught a glimpse of myself as others see me

And I wasnt the fella that I thought I’d be

As I was coming down the road

Coming down the road

I saw you out my window

As you was walking alone

Coming down the road

And I raised my hand as if to say hello

As I was coming down the road

But you didn’t wave back

You just walked on by

Alone by yourself

Till the day you die

And I guess the truth and freedom before us all lies

Somewhere down the road

Somewhere down the road
