I've Been Looking For Freedom [German translation]

One morning in June

some twenty years ago

I was born a rich man's son

I had everything that money could buy,

but freedom I had none

I've been looking for freedom

I've been looking so long

I've been looking for freedom

Still the search goes on

I've been looking for freedom

since I left my home town

I've been looking for freedom

Still it can't be found

I headed down the track

my baggage on my back

I left the city far behind

Walking down that road

with my heavy load

trying to find some ease of mind

Father said: "You'll be sorry, son,

if you leave your home this way

And when you realize

the freedom money buys

You'll come running home someday"

I've been looking for freedom

I've been looking so long

I've been looking for freedom

Still the search goes on

I've been looking for freedom

Since I left my home town

I've been looking for freedom

Still it can't be found

I made a lot of dues

had plenty to lose

travelling across the land

Worked on a farm,

got some muscle in my arms

but still I'm not a self-made man

I feel the run for many years to come

I'll be searching door to door

And given some time

some day I'm gonna find

the freedom (freedom, freedom) I've been searching for

I've been looking for freedom

I've been looking so long

I've been looking for freedom

Still the search goes on

I've been looking for freedom

Since I left my home town

I've been looking for freedom

Still it can't be found
