The Nightwatchman
"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
Lyrics
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
