Lyrics
Acts of Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If all that grows starts to fade, starts to falter
Oh, let me inside, let me inside, not to wait
Let all that run through the fields through the quiet
Go on with their, own with their own hidden ways
When all newness of gold travels far from
Where it had once been
Born like the earth over years
And when the acts of man
Cause the ground to break open
Oh, let me inside, let me inside, not to wait
Great are the sounds of all that live
And all that man can hold
If all that grows starts to fade, starts to falter
Oh, let me inside, let me inside, not to wait
Great are the sounds of all that live
And all that man can hold
Great are the sounds of all that live
