It's been a long time coming' - 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 changing - Faster than we know In these troubled lands Where hate dies slow I think a train of change Is coming down the track Coming 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 Coming down the track Coming down the track
