Story behind the song
What if sounds never die?
Lyrics
THERE ARE SOUNDS There are sounds from the past Trapped within these walls -- Whispers and shouts that outlast Centuries of curtain calls. Lovers' whispers intertwine With brave warriors' shouts. Shakespeare's best unwritten lines All linger hereabouts. A newborn baby's first cries Caress someone's last moan. Dylan's first lyric lies Deep in his Hibbing home. There are sounds from the past Trapped inside these walls -- Vibrations that outlast Empires' rises and falls. If we could lift the layers Of man's first spoken words, All of those early sayers Could still be plainly heard. Parables of Jesus Mingle with Roman shouts. The good word that frees us Lies buried hereabouts. There are sounds from the past Trapped within these walls -- Sonic visions amassed As civilization sprawls. Copyright © 2012 Lex Zaleta
