Story Behind The Song

Our nation is suffering now, and I wanted to write a song that would inspire us and remind us that we always have been, and always will be, great. But the song tells us that we must take responsibility for our nation. It says "Let us" let freedom ring. We Americans are the ones who must show how great we are. And that greatness comes from our belief in equality for all. The song tells us that if we strive for equality for everyone, we will be a beacon for the rest of the world. Can you dig it? "Equality is the thing that will let that freedom ring."

Lyrics

Let's let freedom ring
Let's let freedom ring
Let me hear your voices sing
Let's let freedom ring
Oh, the many blessings bring
If we just let freedom ring

Freedom in a land that's free
What's that mean to you and me?
Everybody equal, see?
All of our humanity
Equality is the thing
That will let that freedom ring

Let's let freedom ring
Let's let freedom ring
Let me hear your voices sing
Let's let freedom ring
Oh, the many blessings bring
If we just let freedom ring

Who has walked this way before?
Who has beaten down the door?
Many people struggle, can't you see?
To have real opportunity
If you know of where I sing
Then help me let freedom ring

Let's let freedom ring
Let's let freedom ring
Let me hear your voices sing
Let's let freedom ring
Oh, the many blessings bring
If we just let freedom ring

We have been a beacon bright
Many come to seek the light
From every shore and sailing every sea
Pilgrims like in most our families
And we will always be the real thing
If we just let freedom ring

Let's let freedom ring
Let's let freedom ring
Let me hear your voices sing
Let's let freedom ring
Oh, the many blessings bring
If we just let freedom ring
Let's let freedom ring
Let's let freedom ring
