Out on the lake, the frogs are calling
There’s a ring round the moon, and frosting round the stars
I can hear voices I can hear them talking
Lost, lonely souls they are searching for home
Out on the ocean the seabirds are crying
The moon builds a pathway, that might lead to morning
But I can hear voices, I can hear them calling
Taking me away, they're taking me away.
God bless the slow ones that make the rest so fast
And god bless the children who were never built to last
And god bless the refugees who never found a home
And look down upon the pilgrim
As he travels down that long and lonely road.
There’s moaning in the ether, there’s rumbling in the sky
Choirs of angels come to us say let the past go by
Sing to me a song Let the water turn to wine
Let the seagrass sway upon the tide as we search for the divine.
