Life Uncommon

by Jewel Kilcher

Don't worry Mother, it'll be alright
And don't worry Sister, say your prayers and sleep tight
And it'll be fine, lover of mine, it'll be just fine
And lend your voices only to sounds of freedom
No longer lend your strength
To that which you wish to be free from
Fill your lives with love and bravery
And you shall lead a life uncommon

I've heard your anguish, I've heard your hearts cry out
We are tired, we are weary, but we aren't worn out
Set down your chains 'til only faith remains
Set down your chains

And lend your voices only to sounds of freedom
No longer lend your strength
To that which you wish to be free from
Fill your lives with love and bravery
And you shall lead a life uncommon

There are plenty of people who pray for peace
But if praying were enough it would have come to be
Let your words enslave no one
And the heavens will hush themselves
To hear our voices ring out clear with sounds of freedom
Sounds of freedom

Damn you unbelievers, move out of the way
There is a new army coming
And we are armed with faith
To live, we must give.. To live

And lend our voices only to sounds of freedom
No longer lend your strength
To that which you wish to be free from
Fill your lives with love and bravery
And you shall lead..
And lend our voices only to sounds of freedom
No longer lend our strength
To that which we wish to be free from
Fill your lives with love and bravery
And you shall lead a life uncommon
