Prisoners

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
 You can hear the sound of chanting escape from her cell
 A prayer for forgiveness, wishing her captors well
 The prisoners of Tehran, their freedom denied
 How we long for your release when you can take back your lives
 Outro
 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
