Verse:
With a silver star between his eyes
That open up at hidden lies
Big man crying with defeat
See people gather in the street
You feel good, you feel good. Freedom rider.
When lightning strikes you to the bone
You turn around, you're all alone
By the time you hear that silent sound
Then your stories in the lust I found
Brother, brother. Freedom Rider.
