Noel "Paul" Stookey - Don't Ever Take Away My Freedom lyrics

[Verse 1: Peter Yarrow] Three horses grazing out my window Brown, black, and white they stand Rolling pastures they can wander Free and easy is their land [Chorus] Don't ever take away my freedom Don't ever take it away Let me treasure and keep that one part of my life And the rest we're gonna find one of these days [Verse 2] Is that the sound of a raindrops I hear falling? How I love, love to hear that sound It makes me think of all the people that I love And all the quiet moments I've found [Chorus: Yarrow, Stokey, and ?] Don't ever take away my freedom Don't ever take it away We must cherish and keep that one part of our lives And the rest we're gonna find one of these days... One of these days [Verse 3: Yarrow and Stokey] When I am old and thinking over the whole life that I've led If there's one final wish left to me I will pray that the children, who are yet to be born I will pray that they will always live free [Chorus: Yarrow, Stokey, and ?] Don't ever take away their freedom Don't ever take it away We must cherish and keep that one part of our lives And the rest we're gonna find one of these days One of these days [Verse 4: Yarrow and ?] There is a time for the singing and the sunshine There is a time for the thunder and the rain There is a time for the changing of seasons my friend But there is one thing we must never change [Chorus: Yarrow, McCarthy, and Stokey] Don't ever take away our freedom Don't ever take it away We must cherish and keep that one part of our lives And the rest we're gonna find one of these days Don't ever take away our freedom Don't ever take it away We must cherish and keep that one part of our lives And the rest we're gonna find one of these days Don't ever take away our freedom Don't ever take it away We must cherish and keep that one part of our lives And the rest we're gonna find one of these days (fade out)
