Take a Trip

There's a man homeless and hungry
There's a wind that's hard and biting
There's a song in need of singing
There's a fuse in need of light

And it's no secret, the day is coming
And it's a day I hope to see
But if they ask, if they ask you, brother
Who told you that? You didn't hear it from me

Let freedom ring
Let freedom ring
Let freedom ring
Let freedom ring

There's a book with seven seals
There's a beast with seven heads
There's seven angels on seven horses
There's seven vials with seven plagues

So if you hear, if you hear a knocking
On that door just let it be
But if they ask, if they ask you, brother
Who told you that? You didn't hear it from me

Let freedom ring
Let freedom ring
Let freedom ring
Let freedom ring

Where the righteous, where the righteous stood
Where the righteous, where the righteous fell
There's a voice soft and whispering
Coming from the bottom of the well

And I tried hard to remember
To remember what that voice said
Over and over, over and over
I repeated those words inside my head

Let freedom ring
Let freedom ring
Let freedom ring
Let freedom ring

Let freedom ring
Let freedom ring
Let freedom ring
Let freedom ring

And if they ask, if they ask you, brother
Who told you that? Tell them it was me, yup
