Текст песни Troy Cassar-Daley - Freedom Ride (feat. Paul Kelly)
Remember 1965
The story of the freedom ride
On a bus, they rode from town to town
East to west, north to south
Get it from the horse's mouth
Those true stories on the ground
On a blazing summer's day
Charlie Perkins led the way
At the public pool in Moree
"Step back", said the man, you can't get in
You got the wrong colored skin
We don't want no trouble here you see
All aboard the freedom ride
All aboard now, step inside
All aboard the freedom ride
Come and join the freedom ride
Fight for justice, fight for pride
All aboard the freedom ride
Charlie says now that a shame
'Cause trouble is my middle name
You know names hurt more than sticks and stones
You can try and knock us down
Try to run us out of town
But look around you, see I'm not alone
All aboard the freedom ride
All aboard now, step inside
All aboard the freedom ride
Come and join the freedom ride
Fight for justice, fight for pride
All aboard the freedom ride
All aboard the freedom ride
All aboard now, step inside
All aboard the freedom ride
We'll always need a freedom ride
Fear and hate will never die
All aboard the freedom ride
All aboard the freedom ride
All aboard, yip!
