Let Freedom Ring
Barry Manilow · Other Songs - Barry Manilow
Sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing
Land where my fathers died
Land of the pilgrims pride
From every mountainside
Let freedom ring, let its music resound
Throughout the nation
Let it celebrate sweet liberty
That is keeping us free and strong
Let freedom ring and let
Everyone share its inspiration
Let the promise not be satisfied
Until no one's denied its song
It's a dream to build upon
We take the dream
And pass it on and on and on
And let freedom sing, let freedom ring
For the children of every generation
May the love of freedom always ring
And let everyone sing along
It's a dream to build upon
We'll take the dream
And pass it on and on and on
And let freedom sing, let freedom ring
Let freedom ring
(For the children of every generation)
May the love of freedom always ring
It has brought us this far
It proclaims who we are
And together we sing, let freedom ring
People everywhere, let freedom ring
People everywhere, let freedom ring
People all over the world, let freedom ring
People everywhere, let freedom ring
People every where, let freedom ring
People all over the world, let freedom ring
People everywhere, let freedom ring
People everywhere, let freedom ring
Let freedom ring
