Lyrics

In the heat of the battle

To the head army there stepped a man

He said, “I've been to the top of the mountain

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 wind

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 north-land 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 Tiananmen Square

Because 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

Because 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 Kennebunk port 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
