The Imperials - Wild Geese Lyrics

Look at the golden dawn
See the sunset on the silver pond
Just remember it was all for you and me
High on the ragged hill
She was crying and she's crying still
Oh, my Lord, You were born to set them free

And the mission bells are ringing
As the prisoner finds release
And the love we knew is returning
Like wild geese
And the signal fires are burning
For the everlasting peace
And the love we knew is returning
Like wild geese

Only the coldest heart
Can believe that love's a dying art
After all the hungry mouths He fed, oh...
Eyes of the Gentle One
Looked for the kindness
But they gave Him none
Not even a sip of wine or a crust of bread

And the mission bells are ringing
As the prisoner finds release
And the love we knew is returning
Like wild geese
And the signal fires are burning
For the everlasting peace
And the love we knew is returning
Like wild geese

Oh...

And the mission bells are ringing
As the prisoner finds release
And the love we knew is returning
Like wild geese
And the signal fires are burning
For the everlasting peace
And the love we knew is returning
Like wild geese, oh...

And the mission bells are ringing
As the prisoner finds release
And the love we knew is returning
Like wild geese, oh...
