No one praying in the chapel
Where so many prayed before...
And they've let the bells get rusty...
Don't they...care...anymore?

Rusty bells...Rusty bells...
Call your people back...again...
Call them back to kneel again...and pray...

Rusty Bells...Rusty bells...
Pity those who've gone astray...
Ring again and help...them find the way...

When we're lost like little children
In a forest dark as night...
All we need is love to lead us...
From the dark...to the light...

Rusty Bells...Rusty Bells...
Fill our hearts with love again...
And we'll all come back again...to YOU...
And you'll shine like "new"...Rusty...Bells...
