When you march stand up straight.
When you fill the world with hate
Step in time with your kind and
Let it ringWhen you speak against me
Would you bring your family
Say it loud pass it down and
Let it ringLet it ring to Jesus 'cause he sure'd be proud of you
You made fear an institution and it got the best of you
Let it ring in the name of the one that set you free
Let it ringAs I wander through this valley
In the shadow of my doubting
I will not be discounted
So let it ringYou can cite the need for wars
Call us infidels or whores
Either way we'll be your neighbor
So let it ringLet it ring
in the name of the man that set you free
Let it ringAnd the strife will make me stronger
As my maker leads me onward
I'll be marching in that number
So let it ringI'm gonna let it ring to Jesus
Cause I know he loves me too
And I get down on my knees and I pray the same as you
Let it ring, let it ring
'Cause one day we'll all be free
