I hear the sound of an Ancient Bell I hear it ring inside my heart It is a sound so soft and clear I don't know just when it started It's rung for a thousand years For all the souls in the universe It is the Ancient Bell of peace It's here to waken the love that's sleeping So ring it loud and clear Ring it so loud that the world can hear it Like a million voices singing Through the darkest night you can hear it ringing You can hear it ringing I knew a man so hard and cold He didn't care about anyone's tears Until one day he closed his eyes And through his darkness he could hear it Just one voice was raised in singing Just one voice like a bell ringing Just one voice, raised in singing Through his darkest night he could hear it ringing He could hear it ringing We are the Ancient Bells of peace We've come to waken the love that's sleeping
