Heard a voice today
It sang a song about tomorrow
I thought I heard it say
The greater the joy,
The greater the sorrow
Open the sky
And drop the sea
I can't be dry
It falls on me
It won't miss me
I will hold you up
And I will let you go
And all the tears I've cried
Won't be enough
To wash your stain off me
No, no, no
Open the sky
And drop the sea
I can't be dry
It falls on me
It won't miss me
Everything stops
While the mountains roll in
And I climb and I climb
But they crumble again
And the pain of the struggle holds me down
And all I want to do is just
Lie here on the ground
Let the ocean fall down
I heard a voice today
It sang a song about tomorrow
I thought I heard it say
The greater the joy
The greater the sorrow
Mm...
