Let the bells go ringing out
'Cross this cold, decaying town
My fingers touch the ground,
Feel it shifting.
And loneliness made a sound,
Heard by all those holding out
And we all came running out
With abandon.
Whoa, hold on to me
Olly olly oxen free
Whoa, come out with me
Olly olly oxen free
Nobody ever told you, son?
All their wars, they can’t be won
So don’t you come undone while you’re waiting
Oh tinder in the dark,
Stay dry to catch the spark.
To the beat of a restless heart,
Stay moving.
Whoa, hold on to me
Olly olly oxen free
Whoa, come out with me
Olly olly oxen free
It all came rushing out.
It all came rushing out.
And we abandoned the hurt,
And we abandoned the curse,
And we demanded our worth.
Sweet tinder in the dark
Too shy to catch the spark
You were always meant to start, start burning.
Whoa, hold on to me
Olly olly oxen free
Whoa, come out with me
Olly olly oxen free
