Ring Like a Bell

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Down in Palestine, East Texas, back in 1913 Two hearts said forever, planted one big dream Hands in the soil, faith up in the sky Love that built a legacy that never says goodbye From a little piece of Texas ground Came a mighty, mighty sound, where everything is bigger now [Chorus] Hear it ring, hear it ring like a bell Bell Family rising, got a story to tell From East Texas roots to Dallas streets we roam Wherever we gather, that's where we call home Hear it ring, hear it ring like a bell Bell Family forever, doin' it well [Verse 2] Papa Marshall's garden, Big Mama's sweet tea cakes Hattie caught the babies, oh the love she'd make Thirteen blessings, Lounzo, Harvey Sr., Sam Georgia, Tillie, Lee Anna, all walking hand in hand Marshall Jr., Catherine, Cora too Mary, Lorine, Horace, Margaret shining through And bonus baby Lloyd Edward, raised with love so true [Chorus] Hear it ring, hear it ring like a bell Bell Family rising, got a story to tell From East Texas roots to Dallas streets we roam Wherever we gather, that's where we call home Hear it ring, hear it ring like a bell Bell Family forever, doin' it well [Bridge] Faith, Legacy, Love, and Service That's the rhythm in our soul Texas, Arizona, California,Georgia, Illinois New York, Tennessee Same fire, same gold [Verse 3] So clap your hands, y'all, get up on your feet Dallas in our heartbeat, glory in the beat From Westmoreland down to Denison Street Papa's birthdays brought the family beat From two came many, from many came a flame Every generation gonna lift up the name [Chorus] Hear it ring, hear it ring like a bell Bell Family rising, got a story to tell From East Texas roots to Dallas streets we roam Wherever we gather, that's where we call home [Outro] Ring on, ring on, ring on, y'all Bell Family standing tall Roots run deep, branches wide Love forever, side by side Ring on, ring on, ring on, y'all Bell Family standing tall Roots run deep, branches wide Love forever, side by side
