Let Justice Ring

Sound our sorrow that all might hear
The children wailing as they cry
Save tomorrow from abject fear
Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky

Air our grievance, expose the con
Our starving masses need not die
Share the bounty before it's gone
Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky

Vent the horror of futile war
The soldiers killing don't know why
Return them home from death and gore
Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky

Stir the hopeful, peal out loud
And rouse the ailing where they lie
Help the weakest and shun the proud
Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky
