Dan Fogelberg A Cry In The Forest Lyrics

A Cry In The Forest Lyrics

There`s a cry in the forest, it`s feathered and brown 
And it echoes off of nothing as the trees come down 
It`s the sound of a sparrow hittin` the ground 
It`s the sound of one eternity bound 
It`s the sound of one eternity bound

There`s a cry in the oceans, it`s plaintive and blue 
And it rises from the depths, breaks my heart in two 
It`s the dreams of the great whales running aground 
For they know that they`re eternity bound 
For they know that they`re eternity bound

Whoa eternity bound 
Once they`ve 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

There`s a cry in the heart of every woman and man 
We`ve 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 we`ve 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
