Let Freedom Ring

They said that freedom wasn’t far behind

When the wall came tumbling down

But the darkest hour has yet to pass

You can run but you can’t hide

 

(chorus)

Let freedom ring from every mountainside

Let freedom ring today

Let freedom ring from every mountainside

Let freedom ring today

 

The right to choose—that’s all we ask

A chance to win or lose

We can make the world a better place

But that domino can fall both ways

 

It looks like peace is close at hand

If we don’t kill us first

The victims of the bed we’ve made

The Promised Land in ruins is laying

 

 

Thomas Hubbard (c. 1990)
