Then We Heard a Shout

[Refrain]
First there was a shell
Then there was a pearl
Then there was a boy
There there was a hand reaching

[Verse 1]
Then there was a wave (Then there was a wave)
Like no other wave (Like no other wave)
Then there was a sound (Then there was a sound, a sound)
Like no other sound of music

[Chorus]
Da-da, da, da-da, da, da, da, da
Da-da, da-da, da, da-da, da, da-da, da-da, da
Da-da, da, da-da, da, da, da, da
A rose is how you shall kneel
A rose is how you shall know

[Verse 2]
Then there wеre two or more (Then thеre were two or more)
Gathered on the sand (Gathered on the sand)
(Gathered on the sand, gathered on the sand)
Singing songs of praise (Hallelujah, singing songs of praise)
Grateful for this place of beauty

[Verse 3]
(Then the sky began to flow) Then the sky began to flow
Day bled into night (Day bled into night)
Our ship began to glow
The sound of tumblers changing nearby

[Verse 4]
(Then we heard a shout) Then we heard a shout
(Shout, goodbye shout, come on)
The air began to buzz
(Footsteps pounding past, footsteps pounding past)
The wind began to howl
(Someone cried, the wind began to howl)
Someone cried, "Look! Our mast is breaking"

[Verse 5]
(Then we heard a cry) Then we heard a cry
(A phoenix lifted up) A phoenix lifted up (A phoenix)
So terrible to see (So terrible to see)
So terrible to hear (So terrible)
The ripping of our lives
The sound of music breaking

[Chorus]
Da-da, da, da-da, da, da, da, da
Da-da, da-da, da, da-da, da, da-da, da-da, da
Da-da, da, da-da, da, da, da, da
Oh, let there never be separation again

[Verse 6]
Then we heard a sigh
We leaned into you
(We gathered to your side, we gathered to your side)
"Yes?"
The nurses walked on past
(I love you more than life)
(I love you more than life)
(I love you more than life)
You said, "I love you more than life
But I'm running without pain"
Then you curled up again and
Everything went white and peaceful

[Refrain]
First there was a shell
Then there was a pearl
Then there was a girl
Then there was a hand reaching
