IT'S A LONG ROAD TO FREEDOM
The Medical Mission Sisters
REFRAIN:
It’s a long road to freedom,
A winding steep and high.
But when you walk in love
With the wind on your wing
And cover the earth with the songs you sing
The miles fly by.
Verse 1
I walked one morning by the sea,
And all the waves reached out to me.
I took their tears,
Then let them be.
(REFRAIN)
Verse 2
I walked one morning at the dawn,
When bits of night still longered on
I sought my star,
But it was gon.
((REFRAIN)
Verse 3
I walked one morning with a friend,
And prayed the day would never end,
The years have flown – so why pretend.
(REFRAIN)
Verse 4
I walked one morning with my King,
And all my winters turned to spring.
Yet ev’ry moment held its sting.
(REFRAIN)
It’s a long road to freedom
A winding steep and high
But when you walk in love
With the wind on your wing
And cover the earth with the songs you sing
The miles fly by.
