240203: Now I've Heard Everything

from Leap Songs, Part 4 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

Thought I'd heard all before
From driving rain to falling tears
Heard you say you just don't care anymore
Last thing I thought I'd ever hear

I heard the sound of one hand clapping
And the smack of one door closing
Heard myself ask what just happened
The sound of footsteps
Know right where they're going

I've heard a newborn baby cry
And I've heard a Godly woman sigh
Heard a sheriff cuss me out and take a swing

I heard you say I did you wrong
And I have done all along
Tonight you're really running off with him
Now I've heard everything

Well I heard the power of forty horses
It was a mighty mighty sound
Heard a tree falling in the forest
And I was the only one around

I've heard a convict get forgiven
And a kid learn long division
Heard an alcoholic turning down a drink

I've heard an honest politician
And a sinner find religion
Heard the reason why the caged bird really sings

Well I heard the hymn the voices carry
In the holy monastery
And the monk he told me what he really thinks
