Ring the Bells - Etta James

Ring the bells Wake the town Everyone is sleeping Shout at the crowd Wake them up This angers deeper than sleep Got to keep awake to what is happening I can't see a thing through my ambitions I no longer feel like my God is watching over me Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming This is not the end, a new beginning I no longer feel my God is watching over me Break the code Concentrate Let the doors swing open See through all your walls All your floors Now you're in deeper than sleep Got to keep awake to what is happening I can't see a thing through my ambitions I no longer feel my God is watching over me Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming This is not the end, a new beginning I no longer feel my God is watching over me When you let me fall Grew my own wings Now I'm as tall as the sky When you let me drown Grew gills and fins Now I'm as deep as the sea When you let me die My spirit's free There's nothing challenging me

Ring the bells! This time I mean it Bid the hatred "fair thee well" Give back the pieces of my Jesus Take your counterfeit to hell! Bang the drums! This means war But not the kind you're waiting for We say mercy won't be rationed here That's what we're fighting for All is fair in love and war And what the hell is loving even for? If we can't sing it loud enough We'll keep on adding voices up Ring the bells Ring the bells Ring the bells Ring the bells Move your feet You tiny people You've been hiding for so long Behind your statues and your steeples Does that hit too close to home? I got faith to move a mountain And to watch that mountain move It's time for words to fall like thunder Sound of justice breaking through If all is fair in love and war Then what the hell is loving even for? The world laughs and the martyrs sing But love breaks through the cavalry Ring the bells Ring the bells Ring the bells Ring the bells You called me boy instead of son And I ain't the only one Was in the throneroom of a kingdom Where I found that I belong I ain't scared to face a fortress I have seen them fall before With broken bones you've built it But it crumbles board by board If all is fair in love and war Then what the hell is loving even for? If we can't sing it loud enough We'll keep on adding voices up Ring the bells Ring the bells Ring the bells Ring the bells Ring the bells Ring the bells Ring the bells Ring the bells Ring the bells! This time I mean it Bid the hatred "fair thee well" Give back the pieces of my Jesus Take your counterfeit to hell!
