Freedom Ride (feat. Paul Kelly)

Remember 1965
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 in Moree
Step back said the man, you can't get in
You got the wrong coloured 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 stone
You can try and knock us down
Try and 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

"Instrumental Bridge"

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
