Theres a cry in the forest, its feathered and brown
And it echoes off of nothing as the trees come down
Its the sound of a sparrow hittin the ground
Its the sound of one eternity bound
Its the sound of one eternity bound

Theres a cry in the oceans, its plaintive and blue
And it rises from the depths, breaks my heart in two
Its the dreams of the great whales running aground
For they know that theyre eternity bound
For they know that theyre eternity bound

Whoa eternity bound
Once theyve passed into the timeless, they can never more be found
Is there anybody listening, tell me can you hear the sound
Of the gentle ones eternity bound
Of the gentle ones eternity bound

Theres a cry in the heart of every woman and man
Weve been crying in the darkness since the world began
Will we ever seek forgiveness, will we ever earn the crown
Or are we in turn eternity bound
Or are we in turn eternity bound

Whoa eternity bound
Once weve past into the timeless, we can never more be found
Is there anybody listening, tell me can you hear the sound
Of the lonely ones eternity bound
Of the lonely ones eternity bound
Of the lonely ones eternity bound
