Freedom Road lyrics
by Neal Morse
[JOSEPH]
So my brothers have returned
As the blight grows in the land
They only see their need
They've no idea who I am
I thought I'd feel good
To see them all bow down
But my anger's like a ghost
I thought was buried in the ground
And I, I don't know
How to find forgiveness
In the suffering of my soul
I can't, I can't let go
'Cause if I could forgive them
How would that be justice?
But the voices say, "Son, lay down your heavy load
And walk down Freedom Road"
Oh
There's Judah, proud and tall
All my brothers, begging bread
But all I see when I look at them
Is how they left me there for dead
And it's just like my dream
But as they bow, it feels wrong
Yet there's still something in me
That has loved them all along
And I, I don't know
How to find forgiveness
In the suffering of my soul
'Cause I can't, I can't let go
'Cause if I could forgive them
Now how would that be justice?
But the voices say, "Son, lay down your heavy load
And walk down Freedom Road"
Sometimes your dream goes live
But it isn't the way you wanted
If the stream in your heart runs dry
Then nothing else means anything
Even if you're king of the world
Woah
Yeah
Woah-oh, woah
Yeah
And I, I don't know
How to find forgiveness
In the suffering of my soul
I can't, I can't let it go
Should I forgive them?
Will God bring them to justice?
Help me, Lord, to lay down this heavy load
And walk down Freedom Road
