lyrics

I have heard it in the brilliance of the moon
A symphony erupting with its tune
It's riding on the silver light reflecting back to me
As the heights of heaven swoon

I can hear it in the vast expanse of night
It crescendos in a chorus of starlight
It's carried by the morning like the waking of the day
And it blazes full and bright


There's a song that must be sung that I can't sing
Every nuance every note it is fleeting thing
But eternity it burns in me and will someday set it free
And the song it will be sung eternally


I can hear it in the prairie ocean's waves
The secret place of thunder celebrates
It rumbles through the labyrinth of nature's mortal frame
It’s unraveling the maze

I have heard it in the mountain's majesty
It echoes through the valleys by the trees
It rushes with the waterfalls and glides upon the stream
And it crashes with the sea

Chorus

I have heard it in the laughter and the tears
Of the children being rescued from their fears
The opus of redemption harmonizing with a life
And the climax ever nears.

I have heard it in the music and the rhyme
In a song that captures something beyond time
When instruments unveil a little glimpse of heaven's song
And strike chords of the divine

Chorus

Now the canyons bellow out a melody
While the rivers sing in perfect harmony
The chorus of creation filling more than earth can reach
And it's calling out to me
Yeah it's calling out to me!
