Paul Simon - A Church Is Burning Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • A church is burning
  • The flames rise higher
  • Like hands that are praying
  • They grow in the sky
  • Like hands that are praying
  • The fire ascends
  • You can burn down my churches
  • But I shall be free
  • Three hooded men through the back roads did creep
  • Torches in their hands while the village lies asleep
  • Down to the church where, just hours before
  • Voices were singing, and
  • Hands were meeting, and
  • Saying, "I won't be a slave anymore"
  • A church is burning
  • The flames rise higher
  • Like hands that are praying
  • They glow in the sky
  • Like hands that are praying
  • The fire ascends
  • You can burn down my churches
  • But I shall be free
  • Three hooded men, their hands lit the spark
  • And they faded in the night, they vanished in the dark
  • And in the cold light of morning, there was nothing that remained
  • But the ashes of a Bible and a can of kerosene
  • A church is burning
  • The flames rise higher
  • Like hands that are praying
  • They glow in the sky
  • Like hands that are prayin'
  • The fire ascends
  • You can burn down my churches
  • But I shall be free
  • A church is more than just timber and stone
  • And freedom is a dark road when you're walking it alone
  • But the future is now, and it's time to take a stand
  • So the lost bells of freedom can ring out in my land
  • A church is burning
  • The flames rise higher
  • Like hands that are praying
  • They glow in the sky
  • Like hands that are praying
  • The fire ascends
  • You can burn down my churches
  • But I shall be free
