I Hear

I hear the echoes
I listen to the sounds
The sadness it seems
Goes gradually round and round
Till I can’t help but let it all out
So the tears they start descending silently from my eyes
They trickle unceasingly in rhythm with my soundless cries

I hear the echoes
I listen to the sounds
The sadness it seems
Goes gradually round and round
Innocent lives uprooted and taken,
So many hearts hurt and broken,
Millions of dreams and hopes shattered and ruined
When will this misery ever end?

I hear the echoes
I listen to the sounds
And finally I hear voices that care
Willing hearts that want to make a difference
Who want to love, to help, to share
I hear the sounds of freedom
I hear the sounds of justice
The tears they have stop falling
For I can hear the voices of hope and peace calling
