Deep within the heart has always known
That there is freedom
Somehow breathed into the very soul of life
The prisoner, the powerless, the slave have
Always known it
There's just something that keeps reaching
For the sky

And even life begins because a baby fights
For freedom
And songs we love to sing have freedom's theme
Some have walked through fire and flood
To find a place of freedom
And some faced hell itself for freedom's dream

Let freedom ring wherever minds know
What is means to be in chains
Let freedom ring wherever hearts know pain
Let freedom echo through the lonely streets
Where prisons have no key
We can be free and we can sing
Let freedom ring

God built freedom into every fiber of creation
And He meant for us to all be free and whole
But when my Lord brought freedom
Through the blood of His redemption
His cross stamped pardoned on my very soul
And now I'll sing it out with every breath
I'll let the whole world hear it
This hallelujah anthem of the free
Let freedom ring down through the ages
From a hill called Calvary
Let freedom ring wherever hearts know pain
Let freedom echo through the lonely
Streets where prisons have no key
We can be free and we can sing
Let freedom ring
We can be free and we can sing
Let freedom ring
Let freedom ring
