It's been a long time comin' - Now it's time to dance By the golden thread of circumstance You're destiny come dressed as chance We've been a long time comin' To this romance Now I'm an honest man But the time has come And I'm a peaceful man The peace before the storm I think I hear my train I think I hear my freedom train I think I hear my freedom train I think I hear my freedom train I think I hear my freedom train Now the world is changin' - Faster than we know In these troubled lands Where hate dies slow I think a train of change Is comin' down the track Comin' right this way It ain't turning back Now I'm an honest man With a message of hope And I'm a peaceful man On a slippery slope I think I hear my train I think I hear my freedom train I think I hear my freedom train I think I hear my freedom train I think I hear my freedom train Comin' down the track Comin' down the track
