Loreena McKennitt - Breaking The Silence слова песни
A tribute to Amnesty InternationalI hear some distant drumbeatA heartbeat pulsing lowIs it coming from withinA heartbeat I don`t knowA troubled heart knows no peaceA dark and poisoned poolOf liberty now lostA pawn an oppressor`s tool.Oh my heart be strongAnd guide when eyes grow dimWhen ears grow deaf with empty wordsWhen I know there`s life within.A gunfire shatters silenceWhere birds once sweetly sangA mother cradles a child now deadNow death where life beganFrom the troubled heart of South AfricaNicaragua`s festering soreThe turmoil on the streets of ChinaDeath crying out for moreA change is slow in comingMy eyes can scarcely seeThe rays of hope come streamingThrough the smoke of apathyBut oh my heart be strongAnd guide when eyes grow dimWhen ears grow deaf with empty wordsWhen I know there`s life within.May the spirit never dieThough a troubled heart feels painWhen the long winter is overIt will blossom once again
