Let freedom ring

There's a man homeless and hungry

There's a wind that's hard and biting

There's a song in need of singing

There's a fuse in need of light

It's no secret the day is coming

And it's a day I hope to see

But if they ask

If they ask you brother

Who told you that

You didn't hear it from me


Let Freedom Ring

Let Freedom Ring

Let Freedom Ring

Let Freedom Ring


There's a book with seven seals

There's a beast with seven heads

There's seven angels on seven horses

There's seven vials with seven plagues

So if you hear

If you hear a knocking

On that door

Just let it be

But if they ask

If they ask you brother

Who told you that

You didn't hear it from me


Let Freedom Ring

Let Freedom Ring

Let Freedom Ring

Let Freedom Ring


Where the righteous

Where the righteous stood

And where the righteous

Where the righteous fell

There's a voice

That's soft and whispering

Coming from the bottom of the well

And I tried hard to remember

To remember what that voice said

Over and over

Over and over

I repeated those words

Inside my head


Let Freedom Ring

Let Freedom Ring

Let Freedom Ring

Let Freedom Ring


Let Freedom Ring

Let Freedom Ring

Let Freedom Ring

Let Freedom Ring


And if they ask

If they ask you brother

Who told you that

Tell them it was me
