There's a cry in the forest, it's feathered and brown
|
And it echoes off of nothing as the trees come down
|
It's the sound of a sparrow hittin' the ground
|
It's the sound of one eternity bound
|
It's the sound of one eternity bound
|
|
There's a cry in the oceans, it's plaintive and blue
|
And it rises from the depths, breaks my heart in two
|
It's the dreams of the great whales running aground
|
For they know that they're eternity bound
|
For they know that they're eternity bound
|
|
Whoa eternity bound
|
Once they've passed into the timeless, they can never more be found
|
Is there anybody listening, tell me can you hear the sound
|
Of the gentle ones eternity bound
|
Of the gentle ones eternity bound
|
|
There's a cry in the heart of every woman and man
|
We've been crying in the darkness since the world began
|
Will we ever seek forgiveness, will we ever earn the crown
|
Or are we in turn eternity bound
|
Or are we in turn eternity bound
|
|
Whoa eternity bound
|
Once we've past into the timeless, we can never more be found
|
Is there anybody listening, tell me can you hear the sound
|
Of the lonely ones eternity bound
|
Of the lonely ones eternity bound
|
Of the lonely ones eternity bound
|
