The Ringing of Bells
Location
The bells are ringing
But is this ring heard?
Do people stop to say any words?
When a bell is rung
is it silent? No
When a bell is rung it calls out just so
a reverberation
a signal to what surrounds
And yet I ask you
Do our tears make a sound?
The bells are ringing
But do others care?
if a person is friendless
if nobody's there
for them when they need
just someone to say
that everything's fine
You'll make it today
The bell has been ringing
it's desperate now
it's trying so hard
it doesn't care how
it needs someone's love
to take it above
to make it's voice louder
and give it more power
the pain and the sorrow
distinguish it's sound
The kind of ring that would make your heart pound
a melancholic rythm to a desparing drum
but then it goes silent
and its song is done
