Hear The Voices Lyrics - Singles - Manhattan Transfer

Come join the circle and witness the magic 

Hear the voices 

Believe and imagine 

Hear the voices 

Come join the circle and feel the unspoken 

Hear the voices 

A spirit unbroken 

Hear the voices 

Just a simple storyteller 

Troubadour on call whenever 

The gods moved his heart to speech 

He was something of a hero 

To the conscience of the people 

To the children on the beach 

Son of Africa and legend 

Music made of pain and pleasure 

Brought the nation to it's feet 

Every whisper sounds like thunder 

Everybody stares in wonder 

When the saints begin to speak 

He sings and then they speak 

Come join the circle and witness the magic 

Hear the voices 

Believe and imagine 

Hear the voices 

Come join the circle and feel the unspoken 

Hear the voices 

A spirit unbroken 

Hear the voices 

He was sentenced into exile 

Far away from home but meanwhile 

Popularity increased 

Radio reversed his fortune 

He was welcomed with emotion 

A voice no one could defeat 

Now they crank up the victrola 

In the corner bars and oh, my 

How the ladies start to weep 

Every word describes their hunger 

Everybody stares in wonder 

When the saints begin to speak 

He sings and then they speak
