Broken Freedom Song

Got a song about the sister waitin' somewhere by the phone

For some man who never missed her ever since he come and gone

Ain't it's harder for a woman with a baby on her way

That's the price of being human when you're poor enough to pay



And she listen to the freedom in the silence at her door

No one missin' when you need 'em there ain't no fun

to sing that song no more



Got a song about a saviour looking lonesome and afraid

At a city full of strangers and a cross he never made

And he's sadder than he's wiser and a longer way from home

And he wonders why his father left him bleeding and alone



Just a broken song of freedom and the closing of a door

No one's missin' 'til you need 'em there ain't no fun

to sing that song no more



Just a broken song
