If Hope Dies Let Freedom Ring (from The Taco Liberty Bell) Lyrics

Let Freedom Ring (from The Taco Liberty Bell) Lyrics

we must bend the bars

of these cages around our hearts

deconstruct
the confines

of a weary existence

smash apart the stones

piled high upon our chests

and take in our first

breaths of
freedom

there is no waiting for

life to come strike us

we
must seek it out

if we are to feel it's touch

and i resolve to
seize each day

and not let go until

my hands can't hold



we

must not

separate ourselves from life



cherish
and prize each breath

taken upon this earth

this is our only
chance

one life, and then it's over



you've just got to
decide

if you'll live life on your knees

a clear choice

between revolution and apathy

if the pain is too much,

you can
look to me

i'll be there to help you up,

up to your feet



we must forge a path

straight through to the light

raise
ourselves up before

we fade into the night



sinking down we
are drowning

in a pool of despair

watching as our lives are

wrenched away from our hands



this is the match

held to
the fuse

the spark that will

ignite change

we'll sift through
the

wreckage left behind

and dance among the

ruins of our
prisons
