Spoken For Lyrics

Spoken For lyrics

Spoken for, since the first new morning of the world
    began,
    Spoken
for, slope of the mountain and the lay of the land,
    Spoken for, roar of
the water on the white sea sand,
    Spoken for, the fruit of the valley
where I make my stand.
    I thought I heard a voice whisper in my ear,
 
  A voice in the distance, but drawing near.
    Spoken to, but they only
hear what they want to hear,
    Only when fighting for their lives does the
truth ring clear.
    Spoken by the face of a cliff scraping on the sky,
 
  Spoken by the wind on the water as the waves roll high.
    The winging of
an eagle when it's on the fly,
    The girl in the window with the laughing
eye.
    bridge
    Spoken in the heat of the moment when the lamps
are
    low,
    Spoken in dead earnest or in jest, or just for show,

   Spoken in a lingo of the heart only lovers know,
    Spoken in drops of
blood that trickle on the virgin snow.
    Spoken to, by the white winged
crow in my sleeping ear,
    Spoken to, the promise of a reckoning day draws
near,
    Spoken for, defended to the death at Wounded Knee,
    Spoken
for, every acre by acre from sea to sea.
    With lines in the sand no one
else could see,
    Awakened, by flame in the night, to reality.
