Ride the Wind
Wish I could hop that old freight train and leave these blues behind
The ways to get away from here been weighin’ on my mind
I know no train can take me where I really want to go
But come the dawn I will be gone… I’ll ride the wind, you know…
I’ll just get up and go!
Chorus:
Ride the wind! Stand the storm! There ain’t no place to hide!
Ride the wind! Stand the storm! We cannot be denied!
Farewell, my friends, I’ll miss you all… I’ll miss you one and all
One of these years I shall return… most likely in the fall
So keep the faith that we have known in Love and Liberty
And when we once embrace again we shall be strong and free…
In Truth we shall be free!
Chorus Instrumental Chorus
Cold winds blow across the land… Dark clouds gather gloom
Children wake up crying… Parents rush into the room
It’s just another nightmare of impending days of doom
But we’re gonna tear “your terror” down and make the deserts bloom!
Yeah, that’s what we assume!
Chorus
It’s just like us to rise again when we have sunk so low
Those who have no sense of shame will never learn to grow
We cannot live locked in the past… The winter can’t stop spring!
So let us join our hearts in hope… Let’s hear those voices ring!
Yeah, let’s hear those voices sing!
