What’s That I Hear
[Verse 1]
What's that I hear now ringing in my ears?
I've heard that sound before
What's that I hear now ringing in my ears?
I hear it more and more
It's the sound of freedom calling
Ringing up to the sky
It's the sound of the old ways falling
You can hear it if you try
You can hear it if you try
[Verse 2]
What's that I see now shining in my eyes?
I've seen that light before
What's that I see now shining in my eyes?
I see it more and more
It's the light of freedom shining
Shining up to the sky
It's the light of the old ways dying
You can see it if you try
You can see it if you try
[Verse 3]
What's that I feel now beating in my heart?
I've felt that beat before
What's that I feel now beating in my heart?
I feel it more and more (More and more and)
It's the rumble of freedom calling
Climbing up to the sky
It's the rumble of the old ways falling
You can feel it if you try (You can feel it if you try)
You can see it if you try (You can see it if you try)
You can hear it if you try (You can feel it if you try)
You can feel it if you try
[Verse 4]
What's that I hear now ringing in my ears? (Ringing in my ears)
I've heard that sound before
(I've heard, I've heard that sound before)
What's that I hear now ringing in my ears? (Ringing in my ears)
I hear it more and more (I hear it more and more and)
It's the sound of freedom calling
Ringing up to the sky
It's the sound of the old ways falling
You can hear it if you try (You can hear it if you try)
You can see it if you try (You can see it if you try)
You can feel it if you try (You can feel it if you try)
You can hear it if you try (You can feel it if you try)
You can see it if you try (You can see it if you try)
You can hear it if you try (You can hear it if you try)
You can hear it if you try (You can hear it and)
You can hear it if you try
