Lyrics
Living Bell of Freedom
Great men walked through the halls of glory
Left their mark in pen and ink to ensure our rights
Believing in the spirit of America
Living truth with the love of freedoms' light
Through darkest clouds no fear to the tempest
On eagles wings were guided by a star
A small tattered flag to hail this wind sailed voyager
Searching with hope from afar
So let the Living Bell of Freedom ring
So all the children of the earth can sing
To fullfil ever dream the way it's mean't to be
So let the Living Bell, Let the Living Bell, Let the Living
Bell of Freedom, ring.
Instrumental
He is gone now, but his memory lies within us
In our hearts his spirit lives and breathes
A man like you and me, searching to be free
To show the path of love and peace
Let the Living Bell of Freedom ring
So all the children of the Earth can sing
In a world forever free, the way it's mean't to be
Let the Living Bell, the Living Bell, Let the Living Bell
of Freedom ring
Through the journey long we near our destination
Let all the people be a guiding light
So all the world can see, a nation in libety
Singing joyful songs of thee I see
Let the Living Bell of Freedom ring
So all the children of the Earth can sing
A tiny ship sailed that day
To find a better way
Let the Living Bell, Let the Living Bell, Let the Living
Bell of Freedom ring, Oh! let it ring, the Living Bell
Of freedom ring oh oh let it ring.
