What's That I Hear Lyrics

Nanci Griffith What's That I Hear

What is that sound ringing in my ears
I've heard that sound before
What's that I hear ringing in my ears
I hear it more and more

It's the sound of freedom calling
Ringing up to the sky
It's the sound of the old ways falling

You can hear it if you try
You can hear it if you try
What's that I see shining in my eyes
I've seen that light before

What's that I see shining in my eyes
I see it more and more
It's the light of freedom shining
Shining up to the sky

It's the light of the old ways falling
You can see it if you try
You can see it if you try
What's that I feel now beating in my heart

I've felt that beat before
What's that I feel beating in my heart
I feel it more and more
It's the rumble of freedom calling

Climbing up to the sky
It's the rumble of the old ways falling
You can feel it if you try
You can feel it if you try

It's the sound of freedom calling
You can hear it if you try
