Far, Far Away, Five Iron Frenzy

1 comment:

  1. Staring at the shoreline
    wishing for some hope
    the weight of empty fishing nets
    is more than twisted rope
    And underneath stern faces
    they wait with baited breath
    with broken hearts from hoping
    while casting out their nets
    See the figure on the shore
    He speaks His words like plain men sing
    His hands they still have holes in them
    glory to the King

    chorus
    Can you hear the bells are ringing
    far, far, away?
    Can you hear the voices singing
    far, far, away?

    And Peter was a liar
    a traitor just like me
    and Judas was a hypocrite
    and Paul a Pharisee
    When truth can be so distant
    and hope evades our reach
    Peter swam across the water
    and found it on the beach

    chorus
    Can you hear the bells are ringing
    far, far, away?
    Can you hear the voices singing
    far, far, away? (repeat 2x)
    I know that one day soon a song shall rise
    You’ll hear it with the sleep still in your eyes

    I hear they’ll hang you upside down
    stretched across two boards
    for hearing distant voices
    and crossing to the Lord.

    chorus
    Can you hear the bells are ringing
    far, far, away?
    Can you hear the voices singing
    far, far, away? (Repeat 2x)
    I know that one day soon a song shall rise,
    you’ll hear it with the sleep still in your eyes.
