Listen

Listen to the sound that comes
 From within; the dram that rows
 To unblock you ears, listen to the voice
 Of the elders whispering to give you wisdom,
 Listen to the sound of music

Listen to the sound that comes
 From the mountains the echo of the
 Shepard’s voice calling his flock,
 Listen to the sound of water flowing
 From stream to stream to soothe your soul
 Listen to the sound of music

Listen to the sound that comes from the sky
 The sound of the thunder as it rows to worn you
 Of the storm that’s coming, listen to the sound of
 The raindrops falling to give you grain
 Listen to the sound of music.
