E
In the silence, tell me, can you hear
          E
The voices calling out, of the disappeared?
          A
Broken spirits, dormant dreams
          E
How much longer will justice sleep?


[Pre-Chorus]
          C#m                 B
When a lawless heart is the voice we're hearing
           E        E         E
We need freedom, freedom, free-ee-dom


[Chorus]
          A                              E
How much longer 'til we sing a new song?
          A                              E
How much longer 'til we sing a new song?


[Verse 2]
           E
Hearts of saints and sinners too
           E
Both have walked away from the destitute
           A
Call them back to sing as one
           E
A song of freedom now, a song to overcome


[Pre-Chorus]
        C#m                   B
When a lawless heart is the voice we're hearing
           E        E          E
We need freedom, freedom, free-ee-dom


[Chorus]
          A                              E
How much longer 'til we sing a new song?
          A                              E
How much longer 'til we sing a new song?


[Bridge]
           E
Come on brother, lay your weapons down

Where the river of justice rolls and all oppression drowns
                E
It flows with life, love and truth

May the old be washed away and hearts be made anew
            E
Come on brother, lay your weapons down

Where the river of justice rolls and all oppression drowns
                E
It flows with life, love and truth

May the old be washed away and hearts be made anew


[Pre-Chorus]
          C#m                 B
When a lawless heart is the voice we're hearing
         E
We need freedom (We need freedom)
   E
Freedom (We need freedom)
   E
Free-ee-dom


[Chorus]
            A                            E
How much longer 'til we sing a new song?
            A                            E
How much longer 'til we sing a new song?
            A                            E
How much longer 'til we sing a new song?
            A                            E
How much longer 'til we sing a new song?
