lyrics

Won’t you take the time to know me well?
The constant music mission bell
And you decide
As days go by
Won’t you take the time to know me well?

Can you see a mother’s hands get worn away?
The balance and the beautiful array
And her bones
Can’t bear the cold
Can you see a mother’s hands get worn away?

The miracle lay sleeping in the dark
And the soldiers in the checkpoints all remark
No one can see
We still believe
The miracle lay sleeping in the dark

Ooh….

Won’t you step inside my humble home?
Til kindness is the only thing we know
My father’s face
A mother’s grace
Won’t you step inside my humble home

Did you hear the sound of crying in the night
The solitude of monumental light
And in us all
Do you recall?
The sound

Can you hear the song of children all around?
And the messages of mercy still resound
A mother’s prayer
Suspends the air
Can you hear the song of children all around?
