Aeone - Voice Of America lyrics

rate me

A man on the radio wakes me from sleep<br />

I've tried not to listen, but my conscience is weak<br />

I've come up for air, 'cause I really can't breathe<br />

Sometimes I think that he's talking to me...<br />

<br />

The voice of America<br />

The call of a stranger reach in to me<br />

The cry of a soldier<br />

The sound of a mother<br />

Makes my heart weep...<br />

<br />

I come home at night and turn on the tv<br />

And the face of a woman stares out from the screen<br />

I try not to look, but the truth still remains<br />

Her eyes speak the words that embody my pain...<br />

<br />

The voice of America<br />

The call of a stranger reach in to me<br />

The cry of a soldier<br />

The sound of a mother<br />

Makes my heart weep...<br />

<br />

So I drove to the ocean<br />

And lay down on the sand<br />

To commune with the silence, the waves and the land<br />

But someone was shouting to me<br />

From the hollows below the ground...<br />

<br />

It's the cry of a man on the street<br />

It's a mother, it's a soldier, it's a priest<br />

It's a boy in a gang with a gun<br />

It's a voice and it's coming from everyone<br />

It's the tears of a child<br />

And the sound of a woman who can't speak<br />

It's the old people talking about the young girls<br />

Laughing at the young boys playing on the beach<br />

It's your lover's voice and the kid that you can never teach<br />

The brother you can't reach<br />

It touches you and all that you can never see<br />

It's the choir boy's song and the man who's never coming home<br />

It's a drum, it's a nun<br />

We are one single voice<br />

Make the choice and rejoice<br />

With the voice of America!<br />

<br />

The voice of America<br />

The call of a stranger reach in to me<br />

The cry of a soldier<br />

The sound of a mother<br />

Makes my heart weep...<br />

<br />

(We all connect at the heart of it<br />

We all play our own part in it<br />

You are never alone you know<br />

You are finally coming home...)<br />

<br />

The voice of America<br />

The call of a stranger reach in to me<br />

The cry of a soldier<br />

The sound of a mother<br />

Makes my heart weep...
