Lyrics
[Verse 1:]
I was chasing down the days of fear
Chasing down a dream before it disappeared
I was aching to be somewhere new
Your voice was all I heard
I was shaking from a storm in me
Haunted by the specters that we had to see
Yeah, I wanted to be the melody
Above the noise, above the herd
[Pre-Chorus:]
I was young, not dumb
Just wishing to be blinded
By you, brand new
And we were pilgrims on our way
[Chorus:]
I woke up at the moment when the miracle occurred
Heard a song that made some sense out of the world
Everything I ever lost now has been returned
The most beautiful sound I ever heard
[Verse 2:]
We've got language so we can communicate
Religion so I can love and hate
Music so I can exaggerate my pain
And give it a name
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
We can hear, we can hear
We can hear, ooh
[Chorus:]
I woke up at the moment when the miracle occurred
I get so many things I don't deserve
All the stolen voices may some day be returned
The most beautiful sound I ever heard
[Outro:]
And your voices will be heard
And your voices will be heard
