[Intro]
You know, when the great train of freedom comes
No one will be left behind
Not the least of sparrows
Nor those on their darkest flight
All shall be lifted up into the light

[Verse 1]
And the stable doors will open
And from cages bird will fly
And the animals will talk to us like they used to
Not like this
Like this

[Chorus]
When the great train of freedom comes (I'll be on my way)
When every village bell starts to ring (I'll be on my way)
When every whistle blows in the vallеys below (I'll be on my way)
When pеople look up listening (I'll be on my way)

[Verse 2]
And angels shall enter the building
With music on their lips
Placing stars on our foreheads like a kiss
Not like this
Like this
[Chorus]
When the great train of freedom comes (I'll be on my way)
When wealth will be who you are
Not what you have (I'll be on my way)
When common sense will guide instead of fear (I'll be on my way)
When we can stand with honesty and love before the mirror
When all sisters and brothers stand together
Against separation from each other
When in all living things we can hear the angels sing
When we know, really know that
Love is everything

[Verse 3]
And the butterfly flies between buildings bright
Across the empty lots and through the barbed wire
Then up towards the snowy mountain pass
Holding, holding
Like this
Like this

[Chorus]
When in all living things we can hear the angels sing
When we know, really know
That love is everything

[Outro]
You know, the great train of freedom
Has come a long, long way
Over a long, long time
Right to where we stand
Here
Together
Today (Mmm)
