Smith & Dragoman - Prisoners lyrics

Verse 1 I can hear the voices singing, chanting behind the walls Locked away in their prison cells, and they've done nothing at all Their courage makes us stronger, their quiet resolve gives us wings All the suffering they endure, will only the blessings bring Chorus And we're here for you Standing in serried lines Let our thoughts and prayers wash over you And comfort you in the cold night Verse 2 The door is locked and the key is gone, your loved ones cry out in pain Where is the justice, where is the law, yet you patiently remain Can you feel the millions of souls, your brothers and sisters in song They cannot extinguish the light in our hearts, the fire of love's burning strong Chorus Bridge You can hear the sound of chanting escape from her cell A prayer for forgiveness, wishing her captors well The prisoners of Tehran, their freedom denied How we long for your release when you can take back your lives Outro You can take them and shroud them in darkness You can tear them away from their lives But you will never break down the doors To their faithful hearts and minds
