Let Freedom Ring

<p>[Verse 1]<br/>In the heat of the battle<br/>To the head army there stepped a man<br/>He said, I&#x27;ve been to the top of the liberty<br/>And I&#x27;ve looked over the promised land<br/>He had no fear of death or evil<br/>His skin was black and his name was King<br/>He said I may not get there with you<br/>But put your faith in God and let freedom ring<br/>There was a tyrant strong and mighty<br/>And he built his self a wall<br/>He said, This wall&#x27;s going to stand forever<br/>No power on Earth is going to make it fall<br/>But then the winds of change they started blowing<br/>Like a free bird on the wing<br/>And then the wall fell down with a sound like thunder<br/>Let the free bird fly and let freedom ring<br/>[Pre-Chorus]<br/>(Let freedom ring)<br/>Throughout the north-land out across the frozen Tundra<br/>To the land of the midnight sun and the Eskimo<br/>(Let freedom ring)<br/>From Albuquerque across the sea to Greece and Turkey<br/>And from Halifax down south to Mexico<br/>(Let freedom ring)<br/>From Carolina round the world to Indochina<br/>From Seattle to Mobile and Abilene<br/><br/>[Chorus]<br/>(Let freedom ring)<br/>Let freedom ring<br/>(Let freedom ring)<br/>Let freedom ring<br/>Let it ring, let it ring, let it ring<br/><br/>[Verse 2]<br/>Innocent blood was shed for freedom<br/>In a faraway place called Tiennemen Square<br/>Because the heavy hand of cruel oppression<br/>Is so much more than a man can bear<br/>But you can&#x27;t chain a man forever<br/>And your guns they don&#x27;t mean a thing<br/>Because they&#x27;ll rise again in the cause of justice<br/>Give the power to the people and let freedom ring<br/>[Pre-Chorus]<br/>(Let freedom ring)<br/>From Minnesota across the plains to North Dakota<br/>And from Kennebunk port out to Kalamazoo<br/>(Let freedom ring)<br/>From Rome to Reno and from Tokyo to Moscow<br/>And from Barcelona, Spain to Kathmandu<br/>(Let freedom ring)<br/>From Madagascar and from Berlin to Alaska<br/>And from Liverpool to Perth to Aberdeen<br/><br/>[Chorus]<br/><br/>[Verse 3]<br/>Let&#x27;s give thanks to God our Father<br/>The author of our liberty<br/>Gave us this land to protect and cherish<br/>It&#x27;s the home of the brave and it&#x27;s the land of the free<br/>Oh America, we love you<br/>Sweet land of hope of thee we sing<br/>And with our life&#x27;s blood we will protect you<br/>Let the eagle fly and let freedom ring<br/><br/>[Chorus]
