Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Run, freedom, run

Freedom, run away

My friends, you have to run

Run-a run-a run, freedom run away

[Verse 2]

That freedom sun

Will shine someday

Till then, you better run

Run-a run-a run, freedom run away

[Verse 3]

I'm frightened

Ooh, yes, well, you should be

Freedom is scary

It's a blast of cool wind that burns your face

To wake you up

Literally?

Yes

[Verse 4]

There's a trickle of sweat

(There's a trickle of sweat)

A-drippin' in your ear

(Drippin' in your ear)

Still, you gotta run

Run-a run-a run, freedom run away

(Run, run away)

[Verse 5]

Now don't you fret

And never fear

Till freedom's won

Won-a won-a won, freedom run away

(Run, freedom, run)

[Verse 6]

There's a great big Cladwell on your tail

(Run, freedom, run)

And he's put his henchmen on your trail

(Run, freedom, run)

[Verse 7]

Whoa, I'm simply layin' out the facts for you

Great big Cladwell's makin' tracks for you

Ain't no time to relax for you

Run, freedom, run

[Verse 8]

Run, freedom, run

(Run, freedom, run)

(Run, freedom, run)

Freedom, run away

(Freedom, run away)

(Freedom, run away)

(My friends, you have to run)

(Run-a run-a run, freedom, run away)

(Freedom, run away)

(Freedom, run away)

(Freedom, run away)

[Verse 9]

(That freedom sun)

(That freedom sun)

(Will shine someday)

[Verse 10]

A-three, four

(Till then you better run)

(Run-a run-a run, freedom run away)

[Verse 11]

Run, freedom, run

(Run hallelujah, run hallelujah)

Freedom, run away

My friends, you have to run

Run-a run-a run, freedom run away

(Run, hallelu)

[Verse 12]

That freedom sun

(Freedom sun)

Will shine someday

(Some sweet day)

Till then, you better run

Run-a run-a run, run-a run-a run

Hallelujah

[Verse 13]

(Freedom, run)

With the wind in your hair

You run to freedom's glory

(Freedom sun)

That freedom sun will shine

All over your freedom story

[Verse 14]

I said, freedom

I said, freedom

I said, freedom

Freedom, run

[Verse 15]

Away

(Run, freedom, run)

(Run, freedom)

(Freedom, run away)
