lyrics

i heard a great chorus
i joined that refrain
it was a ballad of mercy
it was joy it was pain
it was a multitude pulsing
like one single heartbeat
it was the plea of a beggar
it was a babbling priest
it was a hollering rich man
who owned nothing but fear
it was two lovers whispering
in each other's ears
it was the dance of the unborn
countless kicking feet
it was faith in the future
it was death in the street

i heard a great chorus
i joined that refrain
it was a song of the people
it was blood mixed with rain

my dream keeps recurring
a voice cries out from the flames
there's a little girl burning
she never gets saved
hear that howling atlantic
i swell with the tide
where possibility flickers
in that pure morning light

i heard a great chorus
i joined that refrain
it was hope it was hatred
it was glory and shame
it was the groan of creation
it was birth and decay
i heard a great chorus
i joined that refrain
