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
And 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
Where the righteous, where the righteous fell
There's a voice 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, yup
