What's that I hear now ringing in my ear

I've heard that sound before

What's that I hear now ringing in my ear

I hear it more and more

It's the sound of freedom calling

Ringing up to the sky

It's the sound of the old ways falling

You can hear it if you try

You can hear it if you try

What's that I see now shining in my eyes
I've seen that light before
What's that I see now shining in my eyes
I see it more and more
It's the light of freedom shining
Shining up to the sky
It's the light of the old ways a dying
You can see it if you try

What's that I feel now beating in my heart
I've felt that beat before
What's that I feel now beating in my heart
I feel it more and more
It's the rumble of freedom calling
Climbing up to the sky
It's the rumble of the old ways a falling
You can feel it if you try
