Lyrics:
There’s a new tree growin’
from the old, dead root
There’s a new life
slowly breaking into view
Where the leaves had faded,
withered, and died
There’s a vibrant green
awakening inside

-chorus-
I hear the freedom song
I hear the ringing bell
I see a new page turning
And all is well
So I will beat the drum
And join the reverie
I will surrender
to the whirlwind of hope in me

I’ve been grieving at the stump
of this old tree
When it fell I thought it’d be
the death of me
For years I tried
to exist and survive
Praying for this dream
to come back alive

-chorus-
And now I hear the freedom song
I hear the ringing bell
I see a new page turning
And all is well
So I will beat the drum
And join the reverie
I will surrender
to the whirlwind of hope in me
Cause there’s a new tree growin’
from the old, dead root

Up against the horizon
I can see this tiny sapling rise
Soon the day will come
when I climb through her branches
As she lifts me to the sky

-chorus-
I hear the freedom song
I hear the ringing bell
I see a new page turning
And all is well
Cause there’s a new tree growin’
from the old, dead root

And so it begins
The work of living
Steady energy
pushing upward from the ground
