Oh the roaCd stretches far
through shaFdows and stonCe
Where the whiCspers of chanFge
are etcChed in boneG
HowC many tears
must waFter the grounCd
Before the seeds of hopFe
are finally foundC
* Oh the ecChoes rise
but they’re never heard
TheFy want silence we want worth
Oh howC many live
will they take away
BeforeG the dawn brings a better dayC
Oh the paiCn carves a path
through vaFlleys so deepC
Where meCmories lieF
and proCmises sleepG
Oh the nigCht plays tune
A soFrrowful songC
Yet somewhere beyondF
waits the light of the dawnC
* Oh the ecC hoes rise
but they’re never heard
