Let Freedom Ring
(专辑: Freedom And Justice For All - 2003)
In the
heat of the
battle To the
head army there stepped a
man He said, 'I've been to the
top of the
liberty And I've looked over the
promised land' He had no fear of death or evil His skin was black and his name was King He said I
may not get there with you But put your faith in God and let freedom ring There was a
tyrant strong and mighty And he built his self a
wall He said, 'This wall's gonna stand forever No power on Earth is gonna make it fall' But then the
winds of change they started blowing Like a
free bird on the
wing And then the
wall fell down with a
sound like thunder Let the
free bird fly and let freedom ring (Let freedom ring) Throughout the
northland out across the
frozen Tundra To the
land of the
midnight sun and the
Eskimo (Let freedom ring) From Albuquerque across the
sea to Greece and Turkey And from Halifax down south to Mexico (Let freedom ring) From Carolina round the
world to Indochina From Seattle to Mobile and Abilene (Let freedom ring) Let freedom ring (Let freedom ring) Let freedom ring Let it ring, let it ring, let it ring Innocent blood was shed for freedom In a
faraway place called Tiennemen Square 'Cause the
heavy hand of cruel oppression Is so much more than a
man can bear But you can't chain a
man forever And your guns they don't mean a
thing 'Cause they'll rise again in the
cause of justice Give the
power to the
people and let freedom ring (Let freedom ring) From Minnesota across the
plains to North Dakota And from Kennebunkport out to Kalamazoo (Let freedom ring) From Rome to Reno and from Tokyo to Moscow And from Barcelona, Spain to Kathmandu (Let freedom ring) From Madagascar and from Berlin to Alaska And from Liverpool to Perth to Aberdeen (Let freedom ring) Let freedom ring (Let freedom ring) Let freedom ring Let it ring, let it ring, let it ring Let's give thanks to God our Father The
author of our liberty Gave us this land to protect and cherish It's the
home of the
brave and it's the
land of the
free Oh America, we love you Sweet land of hope of thee we sing And with our life's blood we will protect you Let the
eagle fly and let freedom ring Let freedom ring Let freedom ring Let freedom ring Let it ring, let it ring Let it ring, let it ring Let freedom ring
