I have walked all alone on these streets I call home
Streets of hope, streets of fear
Through the sidewalk cracks, time disappears
I was lost on my knees on the eve of defeat
As I chocked back to tears, there's a silent scream no one could hear

So far away from everything, you know it's [bad word] 
Something inside that makes you do what you got to do

Ring the bells, ring them loud
Let them ring here and now
Just reach out and ring the bells of freedom
When your world's crashing down like you've lost every round
Stand your ground
And ring the bells of freedom

Up the steps of the church, through the fields in the dirt
In the dark I have seen that the sun still shines for the one who believe

So far away, so full of doubt you needed proof
Just close your eyes and hear the sound inside of you taken from

Ring the bells, ring them loud
Let them ring here and now
Just reach out and ring the bells of freedom
When your world's crashing down like you've lost every round
Stand the ground
And ring the bells of freedom
