	Story Behind the Song A semi-autobiographical song (at least on an emotional level), coming from the deep desire to heed the call of freedom. Lyrics Freedom Calling I left my home when I was just a boy at the tender age of ten Got taken in by strangers who grew closer than my kin Got an education out on the streets got taken for a fool Grew stronger by the day and I learned more than I ever did in school CHORUS: Freedom ... oh mystery Freedom is calling me 2. Hitching coast to coast, living more than most living fast, but it took a toll I prayed to God and lived with the devil but I never sold my soul Had many a woman tell me lies had a few that were good to me But the one that I remember best has gotten away scot-free (CHORUS) 3. You got your cement and steel high-rise scraping up against the sky You got big money drugs pumping in our veins to hold us until we die Your capital gains cause acid rain it’s etching out your legacy You give power to the rich and sell us out and call it democracy
