Voices Return

I lost your echo in the glare

Till quiet taught me how to hear

Your meaning stood in open air

And drew our voices near

Voices return, bright and warm

Memory learning a kinder form

We sing the simple turn

And let the daylight burn

We leave our clever shields behind

And meet in ordinary kind

A chorus grows from single tone

And leads us safely home

Voices return, clear and true

Everything old becomes new

We know what we can learn

And let the daylight burn
