Freedom Ride |
| Remember 1965, the story of the Freedom Ride |
| On a bus, they rode from town to town |
| East to west, north to south, to get it from the horse’s mouth |
| Those true stories on the ground |
| On a blazing summer’s day, Charlie Perkins led the way |
| At the public pool in Moree |
| «Step back» said the man, «you can’t get in» |
| «You've got the wrong coloured skin, we don’t want no trouble here you see» |
| All aboard the Freedom Ride |
| All aboard now, step inside |
| All aboard the Freedom Ride |
| Come and join the Freedom Ride |
| Fight for justice, fight for pride |
| All aboard the Freedom Ride |
| Charlie says now «that's a shame, ‘Cause trouble is my middle name |
| You know names hurt more than sticks and stones |
| You can try to knock us down, try to run us outta town |
| But look around, you’ll see I’m not alone.» |
| All aboard the Freedom Ride |
| All aboard now, step inside |
| All aboard the Freedom Ride |
| Come and join the Freedom Ride |
| Fight for justice, fight for pride |
| All aboard the Freedom Ride |
| All aboard the Freedom Ride |
| All aboard now, step inside |
| All aboard the Freedom Ride |
| We’ll always need a Freedom Ride |
| Fear and hate will never die |
| All aboard the Freedom Ride |
| All aboard the Freedom Ride, all aboard |
