A Church Is Burning (Alternate Version) - Paul Simon (保罗·西蒙)[00:00:00]
A church is burning[00:00:13]
The flames rise higher[00:00:19]
Like hands that are praying[00:00:23]
They grow in the sky[00:00:26]
Like hands that are praying[00:00:30]
The fire ascends[00:00:31]
You can burn down my churches[00:00:33]
But I shall be free[00:00:36]
Three hooded men through the back roads did creep[00:00:42]
Torches in their hands while the village lies asleep[00:00:45]
Down to the church where just hours before[00:00:49]
Voices were singing and[00:00:53]
Hands were meeting and[00:00:55]
Saying "I won't be a slave anymore"[00:00:57]
A church is burning[00:01:02]
The flames rise higher[00:01:08]
Like hands that are praying[00:01:12]
They glow in the sky[00:01:15]
Like hands that are praying[00:01:18]
The fire ascends[00:01:20]
You can burn down my churches[00:01:22]
But I shall be free[00:01:24]
Three hooded men their hands lit the spark[00:01:30]
And they faded in the night they vanished in the dark[00:01:33]
And in the cold light of morning there was nothing that remained[00:01:37]
But the ashes of a Bible and a can of kerosene[00:01:41]
A church is burning[00:01:46]
The flames rise higher[00:01:52]
Like hands that are praying[00:01:56]
They glow in the sky[00:01:59]
Like hands that are prayin'[00:02:02]
The fire ascends[00:02:04]
You can burn down my churches[00:02:06]
But I shall be free[00:02:08]
A church is more than just timber and stone[00:02:14]
And freedom is a dark road when you're walking it alone[00:02:18]
But the future is now and it's time to take a stand[00:02:22]
So the lost bells of freedom can ring out in my land[00:02:26]
A church is burning[00:02:31]
The flames rise higher[00:02:37]
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]
