Calva Louise - I Heard a Cry

{Chorus}
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

{Verse 1}
For what it was
In the victim's eye
Hey, just a dead end
Became a fatal cry

{Bridge}
Accusers accused of
Redeeming, repeating the old sins
Pointing fingers covered in young blood

{Verse 2}
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?

{Pre-Chorus}
But I heard a cry far away
We all heard a cry far away

{Chorus}
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
A wave piercing my brain
Somebody calling your name
I heard a cry far away
Lingering, echoing its way
Hey, it's not a dead end
We won't break the chain
