Searching For Freedom

A million miles of highway
Stretching on to god knows where
I don't know where I'm going
But I'll know it when I'm there

I'll recognize that feeling
Of setting down that weight
But till then I'll keep cruisin
To that special hide-a-way

I'm searching for freedom
Maybe I'll find it now
That wonderful feeling
I've got to secure some how

I've been living life like most do
Keep punching that nine to five
It's always yes sir no sir
And I barely feel alive

Trying to find the meaning
That will make it all make sense
But something's always scheming
To keep me on the fence

So I'm searching for freedom
Maybe I'll find it now
It's a wonderful feeling
I've got to secure some how

It seems there's a bigger picture
Buried in all of this
The hand with a friendly gesture
Has been closed into a fist

The soft outside has hardened
Into six feet of stone
Though it seems we're all connected
Everybody feels alone

We're all searching for freedom
Maybe we'll find it now
It's a wonderful feeling
We've got to get back some how

Instead of searching for freedom
I bet we could make it now
That wonderful feeling
We're building it back somehow
