Voices

I hear voices
Children singing
Feel the magic that this
Morning light is bringing
Safe from the silence
Out of the darkness
Into a brand new day
Shining down on me

“Ave Maria” , “Grazie Dio”
“Una maglione che fa freddo ,caro mio”
Deep in the heartland
Down in the valley low
When the wind whispers her name
That’s where I go

Oh hold me close
Never let me fall
Oh hold me close
In the moonlight
Neath’ the starlight
In the half-light of the moon

Land of God’s pure light
Land of my father’s father’s son
When you take me in your arms
You are the only one
Far from the madness
Safe in a distant land
When you call me home again
I understand

Oh hold me close
Never let me fall
Oh hold me close
In the moonlight
Neath’ the starlight
In the half-light – by the churchlight
In the daylight – by the streetlight
Or the white light of the moon
