[Verse 1]
On the edge of the hill
I can hear them calling
Old names
Soft and still
Through the heather falling
Every breath of the breeze
Carries prayer and story
Tangled up in the trees
Rising into glory
[Chorus]
Crying on the wind
We are crying on the wind
Every heart a single thread
Every voice a woven hymn
Crying on the wind
Till the lonely breaks and bends
You can hear us if you listen
All our voices
All our kin
[Verse 2]
By the well
By the shore
Hands in hands
We’re standing
What was one
Becomes more
Like the waves expanding
All the hurt
All the loss
Laid in quiet sharing
What we carry
We cross
Into something daring
[Chorus]
Crying on the wind
We are crying on the wind
Every heart a single thread
Every voice a woven hymn
Crying on the wind
Till the lonely breaks and bends
You can hear us if you listen
All our voices
All our kin
[Bridge]
[Voices rise in layered harmony]
Oh
We answer
Heart to heart (ooh)
Call and answer
Worlds apart (ahh)
Still we gather
Side by side
In the turning tide
[Chorus]
Crying on the wind
We are crying on the wind
Every heart a single thread
Every voice a woven hymn
Crying on the wind
Till the lonely breaks and bends
You can hear us if you listen
All our voices
All our kin
