Em Em Am Em
Em
I hear her voice

She calls to me

Through prison walls

That come between

Her dreams of freedom and the real world

Where her face is never seen
Bm Em C Bm D
All the king's horses and all his men
D B Em C Bm Am A D
Are fearful of the power that can come from book and pen

And all the changes there that can be found

And far away I hear a distant sound

It's rolling like thunder

Rise up and catch the Keeper of the Keys

But she's never heard

By men who claim the higher ground

It was always there for them to have and hold

Where woman's never found
Bm Em C Bm D
All of the holy men who are at her door

If she believes her freedom's on the way

The sound of thunder
