There's a cry in the forest, it's feathered and brown   And it echoes off of nothing as the trees come down   It's the sound of a sparrow hittin' the ground   It's the sound of one eternity bound   It's the sound of one eternity bound      There's a cry in the oceans, it's plaintive and blue   And it rises from the depths, breaks my heart in two   It's the dreams of the great whales running aground   For they know that they're eternity bound   For they know that they're eternity bound      Whoa eternity bound   Once they've passed into the timeless, they can never more be found   Is there anybody listening, tell me can you hear the sound   Of the gentle ones eternity bound   Of the gentle ones eternity bound      There's a cry in the heart of every woman and man   We've been crying in the darkness since the world began   Will we ever seek forgiveness, will we ever earn the crown   Or are we in turn eternity bound   Or are we in turn eternity bound      Whoa eternity bound   Once we've past into the timeless, we can never more be found   Is there anybody listening, tell me can you hear the sound   Of the lonely ones eternity bound   Of the lonely ones eternity bound   Of the lonely ones eternity bound
