    Lyrics:
    Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing
    Let the whole world know that today, is a day of reckoning
    Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong
    Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay, it's Independence Day

    This is the greatest duet of all time. Everytime Pat belted out "LET FREEDOM RING" My heart jumped and I got goosebumps. The look on Martina's face is priceless. She is like "Oh My God Pat Benetar is freaking amazing." Great song and great duet.

    Pat Benatar still has that raspy voice. She’s been singing since the ‘70s with so many hits.
    It is time for Pat to be recognized in The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

      Hell yeah it is. I have recently started listening to a lot of her stuff after passively listening to it for years. She is great. But this song is also great and Martina can belt it out like no one else. Funny thing is I was never much of a country fan but this song crosses many genres its in that sort of Johnny Cash zone.

    When Martina first came on the country scene I told my (ex) wife that she reminded me of a country version of Pat benetar. To see them together years later was awesome. Plus it felt good to be right about something for once. LOL!! Two of the most classy women ever in music with two of greatest voices ever.
