YOUR VOICE song lyrics 2nd version
by Joel Sattler

How I long to hear your
long to hear your voice
how I wish that there no longer was a choice

between the death of innocence
and the past and present tense
and the choice between the peace and violence

but how I long to hear your
long to hear your voice
from the days that we would gather and rejoice

where spring was always green
and no enemies were seen
and the promises of peace were not a dream

o how I wish
you were there
o how I feel
it's so unfair
to spend the summer in a grief I've never known

but in my mind
I hear you sing
of all the love
that you bring
and of the memory of happiness at home

our happy home

o how I long to hear your
long to hear your voice
as I'm staring at the darkness of the void

all I have is memory
of the things you said to me
and the recollection of a perfect joy

how I long to hear your
long to hear your voice
but all I see is just a picture of a boy

yesterday we were so happy
in the sunshine we were laughing
till we heard the terror thunder and the noise

How I long to hear your
long to hear your voice
How I long to hear your
long to hear your voice
