Mountain Clams

The Voice

Won't you take me back to school
I need to learn the golden rule
Won't you lay it on the line
I need to hear it just one more time
Oh won't you tell me again
Oh can you feel it
Oh won't you tell me again
Tonight

Each and every heart it seems
Is bounded by a world of dreams
Each and every rising sun
Is greeted by a lonely one
Oh won't you tell me again
Oh can you feel it
Oh won't you tell me again
Tonight

'Cause out on the ocean of life my love
There's so many storms we must rise above
Can you hear the spirit calling
As its carried across the waves
You're already falling
It's calling you back to face the music
And the song that is coming through
You're already falling
The one that its calling you

Make a promise take a vow
And trust your feelings its easy now
Understand the voice within
And feel the changes already beginning
Oh won't you tell me again
Oh can you feel it
Oh won't you tell me again
Tonight

And how many words have I got to say
And how many times will it be this way
With your arms around the future
And your back up against the past
You're already falling its calling you
On to face the music
And the song that is coming through
You're already falling
The one its calling is you

Each and every heart it seems
Is bounded by a world of dreams
Each and every rising sun
Is greeted by a lonely one
Oh won't you tell me again
Oh can you feel it
Oh won't you tell me again
Tonight

I have heard this song many times in the past, and liked it a lot over the years. It's amazing how a song can change as you apply it to your own life and experiences. This song changed for me today. I wish I knew what Justin Hayward had in mind when he wrote it for the Moody Blues originally. I'm sure it's nothing like what I think about when I hear the lyrics now.
