Let Freedom Ring! - Chuck Prophet

Let there be darkness, let there be light

As the hawk, cripples the dove

Over and over, watch the dove die

As they rip out the floorboards above

Let there be gossip, let it be cruel

I’ll still be home before dark

I’ve been through the wringer

And I know you have too

But their bite was much worse than their bark

Oh, let freedom ring

Come on, let freedom ring

As the rivers rise up over the banks

And there’s nowhere a poor boy can hide

Let there be markets, let 'em run wild

As the sisters of mercy just laugh

All the lost brothers can drink themselves blind

While good fortune breaks hard work in half

Let 'em have Mercedes, and a house at the beach

Sit by the pool and get high

Raise a cool bottle to the heavens above

While the creatures struggle in the tide

And let freedom ring

Let freedom ring

As the rivers rise up over the banks

And there’s nowhere a poor boy can hide

Oh, let freedom ring

Come on, let freedom ring

Let freedom ring

Let freedom ring

Let there be darkness, let there be light

As the hawk, cripples the dove
