Deep within the heart has always known That there is freedom Somehow breathed into the very soul of life The prisoner, the powerless, the slave have Always known it There's just something that keeps reaching For the sky
And even life begins because a baby fights For freedom And songs we love to sing have freedom's theme Some have walked through fire and flood To find a place of freedom And some faced hell itself for freedom's dream
Let freedom ring wherever minds know What is means to be in chains Let freedom ring wherever hearts know pain Let freedom echo through the lonely streets Where prisons have no key We can be free and we can sing Let freedom ring
God built freedom into every fiber of creation And He meant for us to all be free and whole But when my Lord brought freedom Through the blood of His redemption His cross stamped pardoned on my very soul
And now I'll sing it out with every breath I'll let the whole world hear it This hallelujah anthem of the free Let freedom ring down through the ages From a hill called Calvary Let freedom ring wherever hearts know pain Let freedom echo through the lonely Streets where prisons have no key We can be free and we can sing Let freedom ring We can be free and we can sing Let freedom ring Let freedom ring
