There is hope

Even as the tears fall on your lips

Even as you take another sip

And cough from all you smoked the night before

Didn't lose the war

So stand back up and be a man

Hold yourself complete again

And say the words



I am free, I am free

It's the sound of peace

Yeah, there is laughs

Even when all you got is a box of flowers

They gave you as they held you to the crown



But over the hills going out shout

Spill up, break heavy grounds

Angels dress, they dance around

You can hear it, you can feel it

The sounds say



I am free, I am free


It's the sound of peace

Yeah, I am free, I am free

It's the sound of peace



And it's the rhythm, sweet freedom

I was so dumb

They held me to the ground

But I am free now

I'm free now, oh I...

I...But now I'm free



But now I'm free, oh



There is hope

Even as the tears fall on my lips

Even as I take another sip

And cough from all I've smoked the night before

I didn't lose the war

I'll stand back up and be a man

Hold myself complete again

And say the words

I am free

I am free

It's the sound of peace
