Bells Of August

Who will hear the bells of August?
Who will answer to their call?
When will people know the answer
Is not to answer them at all?
Neighbor gets his news from cheap TV news
Words to keep us all apart
Mother just wants her son back home again
To heal a broken heart
And they cannot hear
What they will not hear
Sweet cinnamon in the air
And they cannot hear
What they will not hear
Sweet cinnamon in the air
Who will tell the mother and father
The news from very far away?
After years of waiting for it
The child is coming home today
Once they fought for the illusion
Many grudges from the past
Now they're looking toward the future
The child is coming home at last
Who will hear the bells of August?
Who will answer to their call?
When will people know the answer
Is not to answer them at all?
And they cannot hear
What they will not hear
Sweet cinnamon in the air
And they cannot hear
What they will not hear
Sweet cinnamon in the air
