Smith & Dragoman Prisoners
Verse 1
I can hear the voices singing, chanting behind the walls
Locked away in their prison cells, and they've done nothing at all
Their courage makes us stronger, their quiet resolve gives us wings
All the suffering they endure, will only the blessings bring
Chorus
And we're here for you
Standing in serried lines
Let our thoughts and prayers wash over you
And comfort you in the cold night
Verse 2
The door is locked and the key is gone, your loved ones cry out in pain
Where is the justice, where is the law, yet you patiently remain
Can you feel the millions of souls, your brothers and sisters in song
They cannot extinguish the light in our hearts, the fire of love's burning strong
Chorus
Bridge
You can hear the sound of chanting escape from her cell
A prayer for forgiveness, wishing her captors well
The prisoners of Tehran, their freedom denied
How we long for your release when you can take back your lives
Outro
You can take them and shroud them in darkness
You can tear them away from their lives
But you will never break down the doors
To their faithful hearts and minds
