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   Walking down that road   with my heavy load   trying to find some ease 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 made a lot of dues   had plenty to lose   travelling across the land   Worked on a farm,   got some muscle in my arms   but still I'm not a self-made man   I feel the run for many years to come   I'll be searching door to door   And given some time   some day I'm gonna find   the freedom (freedom, freedom) I've been searching for      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   X 2
