Underground Railroad
Embracing Freedom's Journey: Underground Railroad Song Meaning
Lyrics
I'm taking a road
I'm embarking on a journey.
I'm taking a road that suits me
I'm choosing a path that aligns with my identity.
I walk beside
I am walking alongside
All my doubts
All my uncertainties or hesitations.
So I’m looking for signs
I'm searching for indications or guidance.
To help me
To assist me in my journey.
Take me
Guide me
Where the river runs
To a place where freedom flows like a river.
Free and wild
A place of freedom and untamed nature.
Gon' take the moral higher ground
Choosing the morally superior path.
Can’t take this one lying down
Not accepting defeat easily.
The chains are gone
The shackles or limitations are removed.
And time rolls on
And time continues to pass.
This underground railroad has a means
This underground movement has a purpose or method.
Buy myself some farmland
Acquiring land for oneself.
And live a life that makes me glad
To lead a life that brings joy.
Well I’m taking the chance
Taking a risk or opportunity.
The only chance to believe
The only chance to believe or have faith.
Receive, cause time moves fast
Receiving, because time is passing quickly.
Oh I'm hoping for
Hoping for something.
A reunion
A gathering or meeting.
There at the promise land
At the promised land.
With your helping hand
With assistance from others.
Helping hand
Helping hand.
Gon' take the moral higher ground
Choosing the morally superior path.
Gon' take the moral higher ground
Choosing the morally superior path again.
Can’t take this one lying down
Not accepting defeat easily.
The chains are gone
The shackles or limitations are removed.
And time rolls on
And time continues to pass.
This underground railroad has a means
This underground movement has a purpose or method.
Oh lord
An expression of longing or appeal.
Buy myself some farmland
Acquiring land for oneself.
And live a life that makes me glad
To lead a life that brings joy.
And time rolls on
And time continues to pass.
