Lyrics
The American Freedom Train Is a way of saying, "Happy birthday America" We're going to be 200 years young And we've earned the right to celebrate To celebrate the hardships and trials To celebrate two centuries, of meeting the challenge of freedom 200 years of building and rebuilding Growing strong, with an eye toward the future A future, in which the torch of liberty Will light the way, for all mankind And now we're 200 million people Our country is 3,000 miles wide How can we come together? In order to share in this celebration, of our common experience? We will build a train, a steam-powered train, a freedom train A train, pulled by a huge red, white, and blue, locomotive And we'll fill this train, with the best of what we are Our history, our legends, our music, and art Our implements, and inventions, our festivities, and humor Our occupations and traditions All the things, that make us a people We will build a rolling documentary Of 200 years of struggles, and triumphs That will criss-cross, this great country Carrying the spirit of our bicentennial, to all of our people We will call this train, "America", the freedom train And all Americans, will be able to visit this train No matter how poor, no matter their color, race, or creed The American freedom train, will bring together, the people The people from cities, towns, farms, villages And we will join hands, and realize, that we are one people That we're all brothers, and sisters, that we are all free And so, we sang all aboard, America And we ask you to join with us Let us raise a chorus, loud enough, to shake the world Let us build a monument, that will be passed on From generation, to generation So, that 200 years from now We will continue, to meet freedom's challenge Explained so well, in the words and music Of Steven Lindbergh's song All Aboard America, here comes the Freedom Train ♪ All aboard, America, here comes the Freedom Train All aboard, America, here comes the Freedom Train
