Let Freedom Ring (from The Taco Liberty Bell) Lyrics - Singles - If Hope Dies

we must bend the bars 

of these cages around our hearts 

deconstruct the confines 

of a weary existence 

smash apart the stones 

piled high upon our chests 

and take in our first 

breaths of freedom 

there is no waiting for 

life to come strike us 

we must seek it out 

if we are to feel it's touch 

and i resolve to seize each day 

and not let go until 

my hands can't hold 

we 

must not 

separate ourselves from life 

cherish and prize each breath 

taken upon this earth 

this is our only chance 

one life, and then it's over 

you've just got to decide 

if you'll live life on your knees 

a clear choice 

between revolution and apathy 

if the pain is too much, 

you can look to me 

i'll be there to help you up, 

up to your feet 

we must forge a path 

straight through to the light 

raise ourselves up before 

we fade into the night 

sinking down we are drowning 

in a pool of despair 

watching as our lives are 

wrenched away from our hands 

this is the match 

held to the fuse 

the spark that will 

ignite change 

we'll sift through the 

wreckage left behind 

and dance among the 

ruins of our prisons
