The Nightwatchman
Let Freedom Ring
[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
But if they ask
If they ask you brother
Who told you that
You didn't hear it from me

[Chorus]
Let freedom ring
Let freedom ring
Let freedom ring
Let freedom ring

[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
Let freedom ring
Let freedom ring
Let freedom ring
Let freedom ring

[Bridge]
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
[Chorus x2]
Let freedom ring
Let freedom ring
Let freedom ring
Let freedom ring

[Outro]
And if they ask
If they ask you brother
Who told you that
Tell them it was me
