[Verse 1]
Like a hurricane around your heart
When earth and sky are torn apart
He comes gathering up the bits
While hoping that the puzzle fits
[Chorus]
He leaves you
He leaves you
Freedom rider
[Verse 2]
With a silver star between his eyes
That open up at hidden lies
Big man crying with defeat
See people gathering in the street
[Chorus]
You feel him
You feel good
Freedom rider
[Instrumental Break 01:45-03:45]
[Flute Solo]
[Verse 3]
When lightning strikes you to the bone
You turn around, you're all alone
By the time you hear that siren sound
Then your soul is in the lost and found
[Chorus]
Forever
Forever
Freedom rider
[Outro]
Here it comes
Here it comes
Here it comes
Here it comes
[Instrumental Outro]
[Organ Solo]
