Christopher Smith - Someone Who Hears lyrics

[MARY, spoken] I remember everything you ever wrote for me Every poem, every sonnet, every song [JOHN, spoken] I was a child, Mary [MARY, sung] Once upon a time in a land far away A boy only nine had a prayer he would say When the sky was growing dark And the clouds were filled with rain Always he retreated to that comforting refrain And he cried out loud And he cried out with tears Hoping somewhere far beyond the clouds He'd find someone who hears Someone who truly hears [JOHN] And no one understood Why he set off alone Deep into the wood Far away from his home Though they often asked him why He could never quite explain Why he had to wander so To ease his earthly pain [JOHN & MARY] And he cried out loud And he cried out with tears Hoping somewhere far beyond the clouds He'd find someone who hears [MARY] Someone who truly hears
