Kerry Livgren - A Hero's Canticle lyrics

When the night comes rollin' down the sky I see the questions in your eyes We wonder what will come in times like these But I don't believe the Crystal Ball I'm listening for a different call While all the world is clamoring for peace (and) You can feel the weight the seasons bear It's all around us everywhere Tracing our movement through the years For the Song we sang isn't heard anymore We've forgotten it's name But the melody still lingers in our hearts So we're pushin' on and we're not looking back And we don't mind the pain 'Cause a man can never lose what he can't attain Can anyone remember when The boys were boys and men were men And everyone believed we'd all pull through But the changes came and chilled the air Our Heroes are no longer there The ones who stand against the tide are few (and) You can feel the weight the seasons bear It's all around us everywhere Tracing our movements through the years For the Song we sang isn't heard anymore We've forgotten it's name But the melody still lingers in our hearts So we're pushin' on and we're not looking back And we don't mind the pain 'Cause a man can never lose what he can't attain Now the years will steal our youth A lie can change, but not the truth It's slipping through our fingers even now It's a sorrow we don't need to share A burden we don't have to bear The melody still lingers in my ears 'Cause the Song we sing, is alive again, And it's always the same It's the melody that was living in our hearts So we're pushin' on, and we're not looking back And we don't mind the pain 'Cause a man can never lose what he can't attain
