Song Title: The Road To Freedom Artist: Chris De Burgh Intro Verse 1 I feel the wind blowing through my doorway it’s telling me that the summer’s gone and the winter waits in shadow waiting with the storm. Verse 2 I am old and my bones are weary and my son he is all I have but he has gone to fight for freedom leaving with my heart. All my life I have loved this land worked it with my hands but can this freedom send the rain when seed is in the ground ? Can this freedom heal the pain and bring my boy back to me again? Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh. (2x) Verse 3 I watched them sail from the rocks below me ’twas like the sea in its endless rage many fall on the road to freedom dying on the stones. All my life I have loved this land worked it with my hands but can your freedom send the rain when seed is in the ground ? Can your freedom heal the pain and bring my boy back to me again? Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh. Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh. - - - Oh oh. Verse 4 Late last night as the world was sleeping I dreamed my boy he was calling out ’Cos he was lost in some dark forest and snow was falling down falling on the ground. Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh.

Cette chanson évoque le profond chagrin d'un père dont le fils est parti se battre pour la liberté. Le narrateur se sent accablé par le passage du temps et la douleur de l'absence, ressentant un lien indéfectible avec sa terre qu'il a toujours chérie. Il s'interroge sur la vraie nature de la liberté et si elle peut vraiment apporter la paix et la guérison, notamment en ce qui concerne le retour de son fils. Au fil des vers, on perçoit une image poignante de sacrifice et de désespoir, tout en se battant pour un idéal qui peut sembler coûteux et lourd de conséquences. Les thèmes universels de l'amour familial et de la quête de liberté résonnent dans chaque mot, créant une atmosphère mélancolique et contemplative.
