Lyrics

[Intro: Richie Haven] Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom Sometimes I feel like a motherless child Sometimes I feel like a motherless child A long way from my home Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone [Verse 1: John Gourley] When the morning came like another's pain But didn't know to fade like the sound it made Let's go down the drain with the falling rain Wash away the stains in the evening shade [Pre-Chorus: John Gourley] It's that suffering, don't know why it brings Such sweet memories will be the end of me [Chorus: John Gourley] But you'll come out all right (Yeah) I know it seems there's no end in sight (Yeah) But it doesn't mean you can't put up a fight But ya don't, no, no, but ya don't, no, no [Post-Chorus: John Gourley] No, no, no No, no, no No, no, no [Verse 2: John Gourley] All the trails we blazed have long since been paved Leading the modern age on down memory lane Can't turn the page like it's just a phase Somehow still be amazed that the leaves had changed [Pre-Chorus: John Gourley] It's that suffering, don't know why it brings Such sweet memories will be the end of me [Chorus: John Gourley] But you'll come out all right (Yeah) I know it seems there's no end in sight (Yeah) But it doesn't mean you can't put up a fight But ya don't, no, no, but ya don't, no, no But you'll come out all right (Yeah) I know it seems there's no end in sight (Yeah) But it doesn't mean you can't put up a fight But ya don't, no, no, but ya don't, no, no [Interlude: Richie Haven] Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone When I need my brother, yeah Father, yeah, sister, yeah Mother, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah [Outro: John Gourley] It's gonna be all right, telling white lies Of late nights 'til the sunrise 'Cause when we rise up we rise up above All of the chaos to get lost Don't make me, don't make me wake up 'Cause I'm gonna be like a drug That never gets old or gives hope But, baby, you make me feel loved
