lyrics

Voices of evening, voices of night
Hold me and calm me til mornings grey light
Til the chains that bind me fall to the ground
My spirit shall soar, and I will be found.

Voices of evening, voices of night
Blessings on those who have finished the fight
And praises for all who have felt of the sky
Remember this woman who cannot fly.

Voices of evening, voices of night
Whisper to me of a world of delight
Oh open these eyes that in death must be closed
And let me see peace and truth finally unfold.
