Olly Olly Oxen Free - Hostage Calm

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
