Three hooEbded men their hands lit the spark
Then they fFmaded in the night
and they vEbanished in the dark
And in the cG#ool lightFm of mEborning
there's nG#othing that rFme-maiEbns
But the aG#shes of a Ebbible and
a cBb7an of keroEb-sene

A church Ebis more than just timber and stone
And fFmreedom is a dark road
When you're wEbalking it a-lone

So the lG#ost bells of fEbreedom
can riBb7ng out in my lEband
