I Heard a Cry Lyrics by Calva Louise

Rhinoceros

2018

[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
