Lyrics
I know that one day soon a song shall riseYou’ll hear it with the sleep still in your eyesYou’ll wake to a brand-new dayCan you hear bells ringin’, voices singin’ far away?
A time when every man will be as oneA time to reach right out and touch the sunCome the day
Freedom’s still a thought within your mindThe fleeting thing that some may never findIt may be still a million miles awayCan you hear bells ringin’, voices singin’ far away?
A time to live without doubt or fearWelcome to the happy world that will be hereCome the day
The trumpets of war will cease to blowThe sound I hope that we may never knowWe’re waiting for the dayCan you hear bells ringin’, voices singin’ far away?
Lift up your voices and sing this songLet the whole world hear it loud and strongCan you hear bells ringin’ voices singin’ far away?
