[Verse 1]
G#m
There are voices in the river, voices in the sand,
B F#
Voices in the city, and out upon the land.
F#
There are voices in the mountains,
G#m
and way out on the sea,
B F#
Voices that are you, there are voices that are me.
[Chorus]
C#
And if you listen you can hear them,
B F#
You can hear them if you’re still,
C#
They have always sung for you,
B C# F#
And they always will.

[Verse 2]
There are voices at the ocean’s edge,
G#m
And voices in the foam,
B
Singing songs of high adventure,
F#
singing songs of going home.
F# G#m
There are voices in the stillness, voices in the storm,
B
Voices in the dying sun,
F#
and the day that’s being born.
[Chorus]
C#
And if you listen you can hear them,
B F#
You can hear them if you’re still,
C#
They have always sung for you,
B C# F#
And they always will.

[Verse 3]
F#
But the oldest voices of them all,
G#m
are from way beyond the stars,
B F#
From oh, so very long ago, and oh, so very far.
F#
And they sing a song of wonder,
G#m
that’s too much for the mind,
B
But your heart can understand,
F#
if you are still, and you are quiet.
[Chorus]
C#
And if you listen you can hear them,
B F#
You can hear them if you’re still,
C#
They have always sung for you,
B C# F#
And they always will.

[Verse 4]
F#
And if you listen, you’ll realize,
G#m
there are voices everywhere,
B
And some will say you’re crazy,
F#
I say you shouldn’t care.
F#
But know the songs that sing the truest,
G#m
are in the key of love,
B
To the rhythm of a loving heart,
F#
to the wing-beat of the dove.
[Outro]
C#
And if you listen you can hear them,
B F#
You can hear them if you’re still,
C#
They have always sung for you,
B C#
And they always will.
