A Church Is Burning (Live) - Simon & Garfunkel[00:00:00]
A church is burning[00:00:05]
The flames rise higher[00:00:11]
Like hands that are praying[00:00:15]
They grow in the sky[00:00:18]
Like hands that are praying[00:00:22]
The fire ascends[00:00:24]
You can burn down my churches[00:00:26]
But I shall be free[00:00:29]
Three hooded men through the back roads did creep[00:00:34]
Torches in their hands[00:00:38]
While the village lies asleep[00:00:40]
Down to the church where just hours before[00:00:42]
Voices were singing and[00:00:47]
Hands were meeting and[00:00:49]
Saying I won't be a slave anymore[00:00:51]
A church is burning[00:00:56]
The flames rise higher[00:01:02]
Like hands that are praying[00:01:06]
They glow in the sky[00:01:10]
Like hands that are praying[00:01:13]
The fire ascends[00:01:15]
You can burn down my churches[00:01:17]
But I shall be free[00:01:20]
Three hooded men their hands lit the spark[00:01:26]
And they faded in the night[00:01:29]
They vanished in the dark[00:01:31]
And in the cold light of morning[00:01:33]
There was nothing that remained[00:01:35]
But the ashes of a bible and a can of kerosene[00:01:37]
And a church is burning[00:01:42]
The flames rise higher[00:01:49]
Like hands that are praying[00:01:53]
They glow in the sky[00:01:57]
Like hands that are prayin'[00:02:00]
The fire ascends[00:02:02]
You can burn down my churches[00:02:04]
But I shall be free[00:02:07]
A church is more than just timber and stone[00:02:12]
And freedom is a dark road[00:02:16]
When you're walking it alone[00:02:18]
But the future is now[00:02:20]
And it's time to take a stand[00:02:22]
So the lost bells of freedom[00:02:24]
Can ring out in my land[00:02:27]
A church is burning[00:02:30]
The flames rise higher[00:02:36]
Like hands that are praying[00:02:41]
They glow in the sky[00:02:44]
Like hands that are praying[00:02:47]
The fire ascends[00:02:49]
You can burn down my churches[00:02:51]
But I shall be free[00:02:55]
