Calva Louise I Heard A Cry Lyrics

I heard a cry far away
Lingering, echoing its way
A wave piercing my brain
Somebody calling its name

I heard a cry far away
Lingering, echoing its way
A wave piercing my brain
Somebody calling your name

For what it was
In the victim's eye
Hey! Just a dead end!
Became a fatal cry

Accusers accused of
Redeeming, repeating
The old sins, pointing
Fingers covered in
Young blood!

It wasn't your intention
You just sold the land
You called your own
And yet you said:
"Let's keep pretending"
Oh! Can't you see?
The damage is done

But I heard a cry far away
We all heard a cry far away

I heard a cry far away
Lingering, echoing its way
Hey! It's not a dead end!
We won't break the chain!

I heard a cry far away
Lingering, echoing its way
Hey! It's not a dead end!
Louder will spread!

I heard a cry far away
Lingering, echoing its way
Hey! It's not a dead end!
We won't break the chain!
