Sound of a Lonely Man

Sound of a lonely man

Behold the sound
Telling you of a distance away
Hear him speak 
Giving the vision of a lonely man
Hear the lone voice
Crying to a nation closely tied
A place where plains fly into pains
A land slowly farmed into a forest
A place wide awake
But with the faintest dreams
See the land
Where unattended calls 
Runs into flashy thoughts
A place where the hopeful man 
Tells the tales of a lonely man
