Lyrics

I’ve been riding on the struggle bus
Fighting for reality
Against my invisible nemesis
Who’s been hiding deep inside of me
Neither the swift nor the brave or the sure
Can defeat this enemy
Only he who can endure will claim the final victory

I shall be free
Look at me
I shall be free

Been searching every page of a tear stained Bible
Fighting for reality
Parsing out the Word for my soul’s survival,
For the promise that the blind will see.
Cursing at the world, chasing echoes in my skull
It’s a mess of a mystery
I’m running out of time, searching for a sign
On the road to recovery

I shall be free
Look at me
I shall be free

Long in the tooth, hanging by a thread
My heart in a dark midnight
A song of the truth I sang in my head
‘Was the only way to make it right
They’re gonna set me free on the day of the dead
Waiting on the morning light
In the back seat riding on the struggle bus
The end of the line is in sight

We shall be free
Just look at all of us
All we need is someone we can truly trust
We shall be free
