'Twas in 1291
When our step to freedom was done
Tyranny was bound to lose
And the heralds spread the news
So they rode across the land
And they said: Together we'll stand
Though it's long-gone history
It's the reason we're free
Let's go on the road to freedom
Our future started yesterday
Let's go on the road to freedom
(On the road to freedom)
Though it's a long and stony way
Let's go on the road to freedom
Our future started yesterday
Let's go on the road to freedom
(On the road to freedom)
Though it's a long and stony way
So we teach our children well
'Bout a man named William Tell
And it's not for glory's sake
But to keep their minds awake
As the centuries went on
The idea was growing strong
That all men were meant to be
Ever equal and free
Let's go on the road to freedom
Our future started yesterday
Let's go on the road to freedom
(On the road to freedom)
Though it's a long and stony way
Let's go on the road to freedom
Our future started yesterday
Let's go on the road to freedom
(On the road to freedom)
Though it's a long and stony way
