Joybells keep ringin’
In my heart, in my heart
Joybells keep ringin’
In my heart, in my heart
Voices keep singin’
To my heart, to my heart
Voices keep singin’
To my heart, to my heart

When I see thousands of names
Carved in stone –
Names of fallen soldiers
Fightin’ for freedom –
That’s what we told ‘em
Now they’re gone
With their names carved in stone

I think: where are the names
Of the ones hung from a branch
Who never had a chance – naw, naw –
While the crowd smiled at the camera
While the smilin’ crowd
Looked into the camera

Joybells keep ringin’
In my heart, in my heart
Joybells keep ringin’
In my heart, in my heart
Voices keep singin’
To my heart, to my heart
Voices keep singin’
To my heart, to my heart

Can you imagine the terror they felt
Not just the thousands of doomed brothers
But their mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers
Wives, daughters, sons, neighbors
Who, somehow, carried on…

Voices keep singin’
To my heart, to my heart
Voices keep singin’
To my heart, to my heart
