Sounds Of Freedom Lyrics

Your call is coming
I'm dreaming away
For what lies hidden
It needs to be found

Sounds of freedom make me wanna try

When the ghosts are found
They will lead us to tomorrow
Sounds of freedom make me wanna try

Voices forgotten
I hear them close by
Ghosts from the past i can see through their eyes
Are these the ancestors leaving me signs?

Sounds of freedom make me wanna try

When the ghosts are found
They will lead us to tomorrow
Sounds of freedom make me wanna try

The signs, they are all around
Forces start moving out
Taking sides, though there's so much
That i need to know
And soon it will be shown

Sounds of freedom make me wanna try

When the ghosts are found
They will lead us to tomorrow
Sounds of freedom make me wanna try

When the ghosts are found, they will lead us to tomorrow
When the ghosts are found, they will lead us to tomorrow

If we could restart how it was before tomorrow

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love this song, I love the music to it. It's so different from their other work, it's great. Could have a couple of different meanings; I can see it maybe being about someone who is kind of in the same rut as others in their family (i.e. ancestors were poor and didn't really do anything for themselves) and yet none of them seemed to realize the rut that they were in until this person singing the song thinks about it. They know that they have to do something about their situation and their life because of the memory of old family members that are warning this person that they need to do something quickly before they lose the chance to "free" themselves (i.e. "Voices forgotten/I hear them close by/Ghosts from the past I can see through their eyes/Are these the ancestors leaving me signs?"). I don't know, I can't really explain it the way I want to, this doesn't sound like how I see it in my mind!

Whatever the meaning may or may not be, this is a great song, I love it.
