There's a high speed chase on a freeway   While an old man pushes a broom   There's a young boy sleepin', a widow weepin'   And an artist paintin' a tune      There's an old woman beggin' for money   While a young kid's locked in his room   There's a rape victim screamin'   A little child dreamin' about growin' up too soon      And the world keeps movin' around   Yeah, the world keeps beatin' you down   With every beat of the drum the Kingdom will come   And free anyone who is bound      There's a fat man walkin' his dog   And there's a dead man in a tomb   A teenager cruisin'   A lawyer who's losin'   And a junkie fillin' a spoon      He knows there's pain, but there is healing on His wings   His time's not come, but when it does we will sing   In His heart and in His eyes with every tear-drop He calls your name   And He says I want you home, my child   Til then, there'll be pain      And as the world keeps movin' around   You know His love can always be found   Within a beat of His heart the darkness must part   As the chains fall to the ground      Freedom... freedom      (There's a police raid down at the beach house   There's a wino about to consume   And a crime committed   A defendant acquitted   And a dog that's barkin' at the moon)      Freedom... freedom... freedom
