Chimes Of Freedom |
| Far between sundown’s finish |
| An' midnights broken toll |
| We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashing |
| As majestic bells of bolts |
| Struck shadows in the sound |
| Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing |
| Flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight |
| Flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight |
| An' for each an' every underdog soldier in the night |
| An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing |
| Even though a cloud’s white curtain |
| In a far-off corner flashed |
| An' the hypnotic splattered mist Was slowly lifting |
| Electric light still struck like arrows, fired but for the ones |
| Condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting |
| Tolling for the searching ones, on their speechless, seeking trail |
| For the lonesome-hearted lovers with too personal a tale |
| An' for each unharmful, gentle soul misplaced inside a jail |
| An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing |
| Starry-eyed an' laughing as I recall when we were caught |
| Trapped by no track of hours for they hanged suspended |
| As we listened one last time an' we watched with one last look |
| Spellbound an' swallowed 'til the tolling ended |
| Tolling for the aching ones whose wounds cannot be nursed |
| For the countless confused, accused, misused, strung-out ones an' worse |
| An' for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe |
| An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing |
