THE SOUND

Do you ever wonder how noisy it is out in space
Well listen right now to all the sounds of the human race
Where does all the sound go that we cannot hear
How does it so magically seem to disappear
Do you ever wonder how noisy it is out in space

It's a chain saw, a passing train
a barking dog, the pouring rain
A conversation, a falling tree
It might even be a factory

Just consider all the sounds of all time
Then remember some of them are yours and mine
What does all the sound do when it goes away
Does it make a difference in the world today
Just consider all the sounds of all time

It's a rainbow in the sky
A final breath when you die
It's the demons that you fear
It's the music in your ear

Every sound a wave that makes it's mark upon the time
Every sound unique like a footprint in the sand
Where is all the sound now from the distant past
Does it ever go so far that it cannot last
Every sound a wave that makes it's mark upon the time

Washer, dryer, the kitchen sink
closing eyelashes when you blink
Moving muscles in your face
Lovers passionate embrace
