Forty Ways to Freedom

A song by: Bobby BeauSoleil

 

There are forty ways to freedom

Forty more to lose your way

Hard to know which way leads home

and which way leads astray

In the end you’ll get to somewhere

if you can keep the hounds at bay

... Gotta keep those hounds at bay

 

 

It ain’t safe for you in this town

Twisted souls are on the prowl

You can beg and you can plead

You can wail and you can howl

But if you're caught here after sundown

they might just hang you anyhow

... They might hang you anyhow

 

 

CHORUS:                                                           All we need ... is a safe place to be

                                                                          All we want ... is peace and harmony

                                                                             All we ask ... is for a just equality

                                                                            With forty ways to make your way

                                                                          Choose the one that sets you free

                                                                        … Choose the one that sets you free

 

 

Can’t run far with a chain on your leg

No fun dancing with your feet nailed down

Looking about in bewilderment

The light is so tricky in the underground

Forty ways in a crazy maze

sent my soul to the lost and found

... Sent my soul to the lost and found

 

 

Far too many broken promises

Trust needs some love to heal

Got an angel on my shoulder

The holy ghost my driving wheel

My lucky stars to guide my way

I'm bound for what is real

... Bound for what is real

(end on Chorus - last line refrain)
