Too Much Noise

Too Much Noise This world is full of so much noise It’s intended to drown out his voice He’s a soft-spoken one that’s clear to me But he’s given us all the choice Those in the city wherever they look See the things that bring glory to men They pump up their arms, they say we‘re the way The sword is mightier than the pen Tarmac and steel, it’s all so unreal They’ve covered his work in concrete You can’t see the sun or the moon anymore We suffocate the earth under our feet If you just get away from all that traffic Fill your lungs with some clean air You’ll find he has so much to say When he finds a listening ear The waves of the sea, the clear mountain spring They’re helping you with thinking They’re guiding you and protecting you To what you should or shouldn’t be drinking If you drink from the sea you’re never refreshed If you keep on they say you go mad Just one glass from that mountain spring Is all it takes to make one glad You’ll feel better too, see things anew The picture will get ever clearer As you drink from that spring, it can’t help but bring Its source ever nearer and dearer.
