Sweet Freedom

A pilgrim at the grey of dawn 
Leaving in the mist of morning 
On his journey of goodness 
Heaven sent, God blessed 


Pilgrim laughing at the world 
Spreading joy 
At the touch of his hand 
Wiping out all the misery 
Making love and history 


Those of us who don't know war 
We shouldn't try to make it 
So many did and even more died 
Do you think you could take it? 


Love lies waiting at my back door 
Such a beautiful matter of fact 
Life's like an apple 
With love as the core 
And I'll tell you ‘bout that 


Just a man in my prime 
Love was there 
But I had no time 
I was cheered and adored 
And I thought fame 
Was all the world 


Battles won and victory cheers 
Were the sounds 
I'd heard for years 
But the women I really loved 
Was losing me 
To all this blood 


I only knew I had to win 
And build a world 
Where I was king 
But leaders come and leaders go 
And that's the truth 
I came to know 


Love or war I couldn't choose 
And so both 
I had to lose
