[Verse 1]
Don't worry mother
It'll be alright
And don't worry sister
Say your prayers and sleep tight
And it'll be fine
Lover of mine
It'll be just fine

[Chorus]
And lend your voices only
To sounds of freedom
No longer lend your strength
To that which you wish to be free from
Fill your lives
With love and bravery
And you shall lead
A life uncommon

[Verse 2]
I've heard your anguish
I've heard your hearts cry out
We are tired, we are weary
But we aren't worn out
Set down your chains
Until only faith remains
Set down your chains

[Chorus]
And lend your voices only
To sounds of freedom
No longer lend your strength
To that which you wish to be free from
Fill your lives
With love and bravery
And we shall lead
A life uncommon

[Verse 3]
There are plenty of people
Who pray for peace
But if praying were enough
It would've come to be
Let your words enslave no one
And the heavens will hush themselves
To hear our voices ring out clear
With sounds of freedom
Sounds of freedom

[Bridge]
Come on you unbelievers
Move out of the way
There is a new army coming
And we are armed with faith
And to live, we must give
To live

[Chorus]
And lend our voices only
To sounds of freedom
No longer lend our strength
To that which we wish
To be free from
Fill your lives
With love and bravery
And we shall lead...
And lend our voices only
To sounds of freedom
No longer lend our strength
To that which we wish
To be free from
Fill your lives
With love and bravery
And we shall lead
A life uncommon
