Lyrics
The Watchman
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.
Can you feel the motion of life?
And all the people will be one voice
Can you feel the motion of life?
And then the people together will rise
Our hearts will dance to the pulse of the drum
Forgiveness and love will show us the way
There is emptiness on the road today
And a story of revelation
The word will sweep the nation
And the watchman sings through the nighttime
Can you feel the motion of life?
And soon the people together will rise
Can you feel the motion of life?
Our hearts will dance to the pulse of the drum
There is sacred power with passion and pain
And a story of recognition
The silent peace from the victims
And the watchman sings through the nighttime
