One morning in June, some twenty years ago
I was born a rich man's son
I had everything that money could buy
But freedom, I had none
I've been looking for freedom
I've been looking so long
I've been looking for freedom
Still the search goes on
I've been looking for freedom
Since I left my home town
I've been looking for freedom
Still it can't be found
I headed down the track, my baggage on my back
I left the city far behind (ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Walking down that road with my heavy load
Trying to find some peace of mind
Father said, "You'll be sorry, son
If you leave your home this way
And when you realize the freedom money buys
You'll come running home someday"
I've been looking for freedom
I've been looking so long
I've been looking for freedom
Still the search goes on
I've been looking for freedom
Since I left my home town
I've been looking for freedom
Still it can't be found
I paid a lot of dues, had plenty to lose
Travelling across the land
Worked on a farm, got some muscle in my arm
But still I'm not a self-made man
I'll be on the run for many years to come
I'll be searching door to door
And given some time, someday, I'm gonna find
The freedom (freedom, freedom, freedom)
I've been searching for
I've been looking for freedom (looking for freedom)
I've been looking so long (looking so long)
I've been looking for freedom (looking for freedom)
Still the search goes on (search goes on)
I've been looking for freedom (looking for freedom)
Since I left my home town (left my home town)
I've been looking for freedom (looking for freedom)
Still it can't be found (still it can't be found)
I've been looking for freedom (looking for freedom)
I've been looking so long (looking so long)
I've been looking for freedom (looking for freedom)
Still the search goes on (search goes on)
I've been looking for freedom (looking for freedom)
Since I left my home town (left my home town)
I've been looking for freedom (looking for freedom)
Still it can't be found (can't be found)
