I know that one day soon a song shall rise;
You'll hear it with the sleep still in your eyes;
You'll waken to a brand new day.
Can you hear bells ringin',
Voices singin', far away?
A time when every man will be as one,
A time to reach right out and touch the sun,
Come the day.
Freedom's still a thought within your mind,
The fleeting thing that some may never find;
It may be still a million miles away.
Can you hear bells ringin',
Voices singin', far away?
A time to live without doubt or fear;
Welcome to the happy world that will be here,
Come the day.
The trumpets of war will cease to blow,
A sound I hope that we may never know;
We're waiting for the day.
Can you hear bells ringin',
Voices singin', far away?
Lift up your voices and sing this song;
Let the whole world hear it loud and strong.
Can you hear bells ringin',
Voices singin', far away?
