I Heard It
Justin Hayward / Moody Blues Lyrics

I was driving down a lonely highway
I was on a deserted road, all by myself.

As the sun went down
It was getting dark outside.

I pretty a voice right beside me saying
I imagined hearing a voice sitting beside me.

Why don't you turn around?
The voice suggested that I should turn back.

Why don't you stop feel the wonder
The voice wanted me to stop and experience the magic of the moment.

And listen to the sound
The voice wanted me to listen carefully to what was happening.

Have you listened to the bell at midnight
The voice was curious whether I had experienced the sound of a bell at midnight before.

On the still night air
It was a silent and peaceful night.

It sets you dreaming of the strangest journey
The bell's sound was so mesmerizing that it teleported you to different places in your mind.

Across the great somewhere
The journey took you to a faraway, unknown destination.

Then you start the brave adventure
You embark on a thrilling journey with no fear.

Dreams without a care
Your dreams are carefree.

Like leaves borne on the wind
Our words are fragile and fleeting.

Our words will fade and die
Our words will eventually disappear forever.

Only to return
But they will make a comeback.

As new life by and by
In a new form or shape.

The passions that we feel
Our emotions and feelings.

Like lovers wild and free
Are as intense and unbridled as the love between two wild and free-spirited people.

Are footsteps on the sand
They leave a mark or impression that can be seen or felt.

Holding back the mighty sea
They have the power to stop greater forces.

There's a place a secret garden
There exists a hidden and secluded garden.

And when the day is done
At the end of the day.

We'll lie among the grass and flowers
We will relax and lie down amongst the beauty of nature.

Underneath the sun
While enjoying the warmth of the sun.

As we look up the sky is turning
As we gaze at the sky, we witness its ever-changing colors and patterns.

With the earth we're one
While we are on the ground, we feel united with the planet.

There's a voice that calls us onwards
There is a sound that motivates and provokes us to keep moving forward.

Down the lonely street
Even when we are alone and on an isolated path.

When we tread the path no longer
When we have completed the path.

The circle is complete
We have arrived at a place where everything comes back to where it began.

A million souls scream in anguish
Countless individuals are suffering and are in pain.

And others rest in sleep
While some people are soundly sleeping.

Well I heard it I heard it
I definitely heard it.

I heard it I heard it
I heard it loud and clear.

I heard it, I heard it
The voice was heard by me.

Yeah yeah
An exclamation of enthusiasm or agreement.
