Phil Keaggy - Our Towers (Rock Version) lyrics

They took away our towers On a calm September day They k**ed our New York Families And turned our hearts to clay Oh, they took away our towers We saw them coming down -The Taliban, the Taliban Evil deeds by evil men A gang of faceless clowns Well, they took away our towers And left a dusty hole The skyline changed forever But they cannot have our soul And from the dusty rubble Rise the ones we hold so dear To a higher place in a brighter space As our freedom bell rings clear It's our freedom bell you hear, you hear They took away our towers The heartache yet remains On the steel we place our flowers Hold hands and sing refrains Oh, they took away our towers A symbol of our success They cannot take our faith in God For that we're truly blessed Oh, they took away our towers The tallest shadows gone And where the shadows used to be The birds still sing their song And from the dusty rubble Rise the ones we hold so dear To a higher place in a brighter space As our freedom bell rings clear It's our freedom bell you hear Oh, freedom Oh, freedom They took away our towers The reason seems obscure Those faceless men with yellow hearts Will justice be the cure? They took away our towers And we ask the question, "Why?" And the lives now gone forever Have ascended to the sky Well, they took away our towers A cowardly cunning dread Such an insane and twisted plot But together we forge ahead And from the dusty rubble Rise the ones we hold so dear To a higher place in a brighter space As our freedom bell rings clear It's our freedom bell you hear And from the towers rubble Rise the ones we hold so dear To a higher place in a brighter space As our freedom bell rings clear It's our freedom bell we hear Freedom Oh, freedom Oh, freedom Freedom
