A Voice from the Past Lyrics by Marillion

A-Z

2007

A voice from the past
Entered my head today
Fresh & alive. Full of life, passion and pain
A voice now past
A beautiful soul. Gone, gone, gone
Speaking clearly - clearer than the living
Talking perfect sense
Used to not being understood
While talking perfect sense to the next generation
Have we caught up yet?
Is it time?
I think it is
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
A voice from the past
Entered my head today
Tiny child sighed in my ear
Giving up breathing in
Over & out
Over & out
Taken by bad luck & the ill fortune of geography
Common cold. Dirty water. HIV
Common apathy. Common crime
Perfect nonsense to the next generation
Dead yet alive
Dead yet alive
Gone but shouting anger
Gone but talking perfect sense
Have we caught up yet?
Is it time? Well I say it is. I say it is
Deaf & dumbed-down
Enough is enough
Give me a smile. Hold out your hand
I don't want your money
I don't want your land
Gimme a smile. Hold out your hand
I don't want your money
I don't want your land
I want you to wake up & do
Something strange
I want you to listen
I want you to feel someone else's pain
Someone else's pain
Someone else's pain
Someone else's pain
Deaf & dumbed-down
Deaf & dumbed-down
A tap with clean water
