Listening To The Old Voice Lyrics

They have come to haunt the children They have come to walk the wind I can hear them as they rustle through the trees Looking for the love that killed them So that they might live again It's a simple prayer that brings me to my knees With drums and bells and rattles They have caught us in our time To watch the eagle rise up from the fire Now is it true we are possessed By all the ones we leave behind Or is it by their lives we are inspired CHORUS: It's a new light, new day Listening for new meaning learning how to say It's a new place but you've always been here You're just listening to old voices with a new ear It's the livin' and the dyin' Well it scares the young ones so They can hardly catch their breath before too long They see the tears we're crying And they watch the river flow And they follow on the banks until it's gone I surrender to the mountains I surrender to the sea I surrender to the one who calls my name I surrender to my lover and to my enemy I surrender to the face that holds no shame CHORUS There's a spider at my window And she spins a web of truth More beautiful than all those memories And she surely is God's artist As she's caught the morning dew It's a simple prayer that brings me to my knees
