Before I knew it, sixty was near
Waking every day to the sound of the same alarm
The same scenery, the same road
I've walked it thousands of times
When I was young, I had my dreams
There were so many things I wanted to do
But somewhere along the way
My life became someone else's rules
I thought growing up meant
Never complaining, never speaking out
But deep inside my heart
I've been searching for freedom all along
Board the train bound for freedom
And head toward tomorrow
You don't have to walk
On tracks laid down by someone else
I've lived for sixty years
I've already done my share
From now on, live for yourself
And learn to smile again
I kept telling myself
That enduring was the right thing to do
Swallowing my frustration
Swallowing my sadness too
Before I realized it
I could no longer hear my own voice
There were nights I stood alone
Just one step from giving up on life
There were days when I couldn't understand
Why I was even living anymore
But deep within my chest
Something kept crying out
Board the train bound for freedom
And head toward tomorrow
You don't have to carry
Everyone else's expectations anymore
People will talk about profit and loss
But that's their way of seeing life
Choose the path that lets you say
"It was worth it" in the end
What's important isn't money
And it isn't a title either
It's whether you can look back
And smile on your final day
Everyone has their own answer
I won't deny that
But I know one thing for sure
I've always wanted freedom
Board the train bound for freedom
And head toward tomorrow
Don't be afraid, it's not too late
You can start right now
I've told myself so many times
That chasing dreams was too late for me
But this life of making songs
Has finally given me the answer
To the days I stood still
Defeated by fear
Thank you
I'm leaving now
On the train bound for freedom
Toward the future
The train bound for freedom
Didn't leave today
It had already started moving
Back in that spring long ago
I just didn't realize it
The view outside my window
Had been changing

The Train Bound for Freedom

日本語紹介文
人生には、「もう十分頑張った」と思う瞬間があります。
誰かが決めたルールの中で働き続け、
責任を背負い、
自分の気持ちを後回しにしてきた長い年月。
気がつけば人生の終盤が見え始め、
ふと考えるのです。
「本当にこのままでいいのだろうか」と。
『自由行きの列車』 は、
60歳を前にした一人の男性が、
不安を抱えながらも自分の人生を取り戻そうと決意する物語です。
お金や損得ではなく、
最後に「これでよかった」と思える人生を選びたい。
そんな願いを込めて書かれた、
希望と再出発の歌です。
そして気づきます。
自由行きの列車は、
今日出発するのではなく、
もうずっと前から走り始めていたのだと。
夢を追うのに遅すぎることなんてない。
新しい人生へ向かうすべての人へ贈る応援歌です。
