There's a sound in the distance I know all too well
And the voices inside me my heart cannot tell
The singin' I long for has been taken from me
Unspoken mem'ries forever will be
Way up on a hill still callin' my name
Inside a tower so steady it sways
It's a ringin' for mothers and children who dwell
In a home full o' love 'neath that ol' mission bell
Now the night passes slowly and the mornin' comes soon
And I should be a sleepin' beside only you
But my head lays heavy in the choices I made
May God keep you close to him whenever I pray
