I Heard a Cry

I heard a cry far away Lingering, echoing its way A wave piercing my brain Somebody calling its name I heard a cry far away Lingering, echoing its way A wave piercing my brain Somebody calling your name For what it was In the victim's eye Hey, just a dead end Became a fatal cry Accusers accused of Redeeming, repeating the old sins Pointing fingers covered in young blood It wasn't your intention You just sold the land you called your own And yet you said, "Let's keep pretending" Oh, can't you see the damage is done? But I heard a cry far away We all heard a cry far away I heard a cry far away Lingering, echoing its way Hey, it's not a dead end We won't break the chain I heard a cry far away Lingering, echoing its way A wave piercing my brain Somebody calling your name I heard a cry far away Lingering, echoing its way Hey, it's not a dead end We won't break the chain
