The Bell Tolls

THE BELL TOLLS

VERSE 1
There’s a thread of life inside of me
Descending down thru history
I’m related to robbers, saints & kings
Who tasted joy & swallowed grief

CHORUS
I know for whom the bell tolls
It tolls for you, it tolls for me
While a twinkling star in heaven burns out
A breath expires, a song is born
Passed down for centuries

VERSE 2
Our songs get carried on the wind
By foreign tongues to distant lands
And magically unite us all like kin
Perhaps the only thing that can

CHORUS
I know for whom the bell tolls
It tolls for you, it tolls for me
While a twinkling star in heaven burns out
Our breath expires, our song is born
Passed down for centuries

BRIDGE
We are bound my more than names
All our sorrows are the same

CHORUS
I know for whom the bell tolls
It tolls for you, it tolls for me
While a twinkling star in heaven burns out
A breath expires, a song is born
Passed down for centuries

For centuries
