I rose up right and early and the lights are dim and low
the breeze could tell you my tales while all the rivers flow
the good time I've had plenty in this race that I have run
I stand across the water far away I'm on the run

come, sing a song of freedom, come sing it clear and loud
a long, long time to travel since this journey had begun
I stand across the water far away I'm on the run
