Ring them Bells [Song]

RING THEM BELLS
Composed by Bob Dylan
Performed by Sarah Jarosz

Ring them bells, ye heathen, from the city that dreams
Ring them bells from the sanctuaries 'cross the valleys and streams
For they're deep and they're wide and the world is on its side
And time is running backwards and so is the bride.

Ring them bells, Saint Peter, where the four winds blow
Ring them bells with an iron hand so the people will know
For it's rush hour now on the wheel and the plough
And the sun is going down upon the sacred cow.

Ring them bells, sweet Martha, for the poor man's son
Ring them bells so the world will know that our God is one
For the shepherd is asleep where the willows weep
And the mountains are filled with lost sheep.

Ring them bells for the blind and the deaf
Ring them bells for all of us who are left
Ring them bells for the chosen few
Who will judge the many when the game is through
Ring them bells for the time that flies
For the child that cries when the innocence dies.

Ring them bells, Saint Catherine, from the top of the room
Ring them from the fortress for the lilies that bloom
For the lines are long and the fighting is strong
And they're breaking down the distance between right and wrong.

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Bob Dylan and Sarah Jarosz.

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
