We're on a Freedom Train
(Sung to the tune of Waltzing Matilda in the key of Eb)

Once upon a time in a land they call Australia
There met some people named Cath & Jay
How they loved to play their songs 'n travel round 'n sing it up
So begins the story we tell today

Then saw the time when little Joshy came along
It was their time to find a new way
So they set up a choir to fill the air with rousing song
Freedom Train was born that day 

We're on a Freedom Train
We're on a Freedom Train
We're on a Freedom Train goin' for a ride
As we sing from hearts there's always room for you to share
So come and ride our Freedom Train

We've journeyed together since those very early days
Riding a railway of life so grand
Where we've laughed and we've cried as people come and go their ways
Cath 'n Jay are there with a helping hand

We're on a Freedom Train
We're on a Freedom Train
We're on a Freedom Train goin' for a ride
As we sing from hearts there's always room for you to share
So come and ride our Freedom Train

This is our story, one we're very proud to tell
Sharing in thanks and joyous song 
Where we sing from our souls and learn to come out from our shells
Freedom Train is where we belong

We're on a Freedom Train
We're on a Freedom Train
We're on a Freedom Train goin' for a ride
As we sing from hearts there's always room for you to share
So come and ride our Freedom Train

We're on a Freedom Train
We're on a Freedom Train
We're on a Freedom Train goin' for a ride
As we sing from hearts there's always room for you to share
So come and ride our Freedom Train

J Rodriquez Assignment 5 (doorway in my mind)

Re-worked with new phrasing. Some lyric changes and very basic piano at the moment.  Final assignment in Pat Pattison songwriting course.

DOORWAY IN MY MIND         

I catch a fleeting glimpse of her
As I peer through a tiny crack
An angel with a candle is gazing back
Joyous strains echo sweetly there                
I am looking through a doorway
A doorway in my mind

Oh angel I’ll find harmony
If you show me the way to go
For now I’m in the moment, I’m feeling flow
Guide me now; shine your light for me
I am opening a doorway
A doorway in my mind

Oh, take me out of my abyss
Through the doorway to enjoy the bliss
In that mindful moment with voice aligned
Our worlds collide and dreams are mine
On the other side

I feel the joy that comes my way
When I sing from my deepest soul
An angel with a candle; I am whole
Sharing song, this is how I pray
I am stepping through the doorway
That doorway in my mind

Stepping through 
Sharing song, this is how I pray
I am stepping through the doorway
That doorway in my mind
