Lyrics

What's that I hear now, ringing in my ears?

I've heard that sound before

What's that I hear now, ringing in my ears?

I hear it more and more

It's the sound of freedom calling

Ringing up to the skies

It's the sound of the old ways a-falling

You can hear it if you try

You can hear it if you try


Oh, what's that I see now, shining in my eyes?

I've seen that light before

Hey, what's that I see now, shining in my eyes?

I see it more and more

It's the light of freedom calling

Shining up to the skies

It's the light of the old ways a-falling

You can see it if you try

You can see it if you try


Hey, what's that I feel now, beating in my heart?

I've felt that beat before

Hey, what's that I feel now, beating in my heart?

I feel it more and more

It's the rumble of freedom calling

Climbing up to the sky

It's the rumble of the old ways a-falling

You can feel it if you try

You can feel it if you try
