Chorus
Liberty Bell, clanging loud
Liberty Bell, strong and proud
Liberty Bell, hanging free
Pealing forth democracy
Clang! Clang!
Verse #1
“No more British reign!” it blared
“Independence!” it declared
Revolution had begun
Then chimed loudly when we had won
v
Chorus
Verse #2
Crack! The bell was melted down
Cast again, they fixed the sound
Crack! Once more, ’twas left alone
Placed in its Philadelphia home
Chorus
Verse #3
Cherished symbol we adore
Touting freedom evermore
Silent now it tells the tale
Hope and courage will never fail
Chorus
