I have walked all alone
On these streets I call home;
Streets of hope, streets of fear
Through the sidewalk cracks, time disappears.
I was lost on my knees
On the eve of defeat
As I choked back the tears,
There's a silent scream no one could hear
So far away from everything, you know it's true
Something inside that makes you do what you got to do
(Chorus)
Ring them bells, ring them loud
Let them ring here and now
Just reach out and ring the bells of freedom
When your world's crashing down like you've lost every round
Stand your ground
And ring the bells of freedom
Up the steps of the church
Through the fields in the dirt
In the dark I have seen
That the sun still shines for the one who believes
So far away, so full of doubt, you needed proof
Just close your eyes and hear the sound inside of you
Ring them bells, ring them loud
Let them ring here and now
Just reach out and ring the bells of freedom
When your world comes crashing down like you've lost every round
Stand the ground
And ring the bells of freedom
[Instrumental]
Ring them bells, ring them loud
Let'em ring here and now
Just reach out and ring the bells of freedom, yea
When your world's crashing down like you've lost every round
Stand your ground
And ring the bells of freedom
Ring them bells, ring them loud
Let them ring here and now
Just reach out and ring the bells of freedom
