Dan Fogelberg - A Cry In The Forest

Dan cared deeply about our Mother Earth and all of it's gentle creatures.

A Cry In The Forest

There`s a cry in the forest, it`s feathered and brown
And it echoes off of nothing as the trees come down
It`s the sound of a sparrow hittin` the ground
It`s the sound of one eternity bound
It`s the sound of one eternity bound

There`s a cry in the oceans, it`s plaintive and blue
And it rises from the depths, breaks my heart in two
It`s the dreams of the great whales running aground
For they know that they`re eternity bound
For they know that they`re eternity bound

Whoa eternity bound
Once they`ve passed into the timeless, they can never more be found
Is there anybody listening, tell me can you hear the sound
Of the gentle ones eternity bound
Of the gentle ones eternity bound

There`s a cry in the heart of every woman and man
We`ve been crying in the darkness since the world began
Will we ever seek forgiveness, will we ever earn the crown
Or are we in turn eternity bound
Or are we in turn eternity bound

Whoa eternity bound
Once we`ve past into the timeless, we can never more be found
Is there anybody listening, tell me can you hear the sound
Of the lonely ones eternity bound
Of the lonely ones eternity bound
Of the lonely ones eternity bound

what a beautiful song well sung. Made me cry for all the innocent lives lost from our consumption and destruction of earth's resources. Bravo Dan --this song and the way Dan sings gives me chills and tears.

Hi,not only a loss to music,but what a loss to spiritual music and protests songs about man's inhumanity to our world and our fellow humans and animals,

Wish there were more singers nowadays who could write and sing like this,but I think it is too late,people are getting further away from nature,

Thanks for sharing.

There can never be too many people who care about the innocent creatures!
