[Verse 1]
I have walked all alone
On these streets, I call home
Streets of hope, streets of fear
Through the sidewalk cracks
Time disappears
I was lost, on my knees
On the eve of defeat
As I choked back the tears
There's a silent scream no one could hear
So far away from everything, you know it's true
Something inside that makes you do
What you've got to do

[Chorus]
Ring the bells, ring them loud
Let them ring here and now
Just reach out and ring the bells of freedom
When your world's crashing down like you've lost every round
Stand your ground
And ring the bells of freedom

[Verse 2]
Up the steps of the church
Through the fields in the dirt
In the dark, I have seen
That the sun still shines for the one who believed
So far away
So full of doubt, you needed proof
Just close your eyes and hear the sound inside of you

[Chorus]
Ring them bells, ring them loud
Let them ring here and now
Just reach out and ring the Bells of Freedom
Yeah, when your world comes crashing down
Like you've lost every round
Stand your ground
And ring the Bells of Freedom

Ring them bells, ring them loud
Let them ring here and now
Just reach out and ring the Bells of Freedom
