Run, freedom, run!
Freedom, run away!
My friends, you have to run
Run-a, run-a, run
Freedom, run away!

That freedom sun
Will shine someday
'Til then you better run
Run-a, run-a, run
Freedom, run away!

[TINY TOM (spoken)]
I'm frightened!

As well you should be. Freedom is scary. It's a blast of cool wind that burns your face to wake you up
