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
