about

Initially inspired by Ronald’s own desire to uncouple from the 9 to 5 and follow his musical heart, this song took on new meaning in the wake of the Aylan Kurdi story. Ronald considers himself lucky to be able to pursue his passion when others are running for their lives.

lyrics

Chorus:
Rolling, keep rolling
Rolling like a freedom train

Come on friend, lend a hand
We can't do this on our own
Side by side on this crazy ride
Beats going it alone
We'll make the climb, we've still got time
If we don't drag our heals
Let's throw all caution to the wind
And our weight against the wheels

Chorus:

Come on friend, just round the bend
We might be nearer than it seems
Let's push this thing against the odds
Inch closer to our dreams
We'll make our way, take each day
And every milestone as they come
Trade our time and our energy
For our moment in the sun

Chorus:

Come on friend, until the end
It's no use turning back
Hope wouldn't bring us all this way
Just to stop us in our tracks
We'll share the road, bear the load
And find when all else fails
The strength to carry on and keep rolling
Straight along the rails

Chorus:
