Prisoners Songtext
von Smith & Dragoman

I can hear the voices singing
Chanting behind the walls
Locked away in their prison cells
And they′ve done nothing at all
Their courage makes us stronger
Their quiet resolve gives us wings
All the suffering they endure
Will only the blessings bring

And we're here for you
Standing in serried lines
Let our thoughts and prayers wash over you
And comfort you in the cold night


The door is locked and the key is gone
Your loved ones cry out in pain
Where is the justice? Where is the law?
Yet you patiently remain
Can you feel the millions of souls
Your brothers and sisters in song?
They cannot extinguish the light in our hearts
The fire of love′s burning strong

And we're here for you
Standing in serried lines
Let our thoughts and prayers wash over you
And comfort you in the cold night

You can hear the sound of chanting
Escape from her cell
A prayer for forgiveness
She's wishing her captors well
The prisoners of Tehran
Their freedom denied
How we long for your release
When you can take back your lives

You can take them and shroud them in darkness
You can tear them away from their lives
But you will never break down the doors
To their faithful hearts and minds


You can take them and shroud them in darkness
You can tear them away from their lives
But you will never break down the doors
To their faithful hearts and minds

You can take them and shroud them in darkness
You can tear them away from their lives
But you will never break down the doors
To their faithful hearts and minds
