And if someone asks you, you can call my name
Repeat intro
You are just a thought that someone Somewhere somehow feels you should be here And it's so for real to touch To smell, to feel, to know where you are here And the streets are paved with gold And if someone asks you, you can call my name You can call my name

I hear you calling my name

By the time that I'm through singing The bells from the schools of walls will be ringing More confusions, blood transfusions The news today will be the movies for tomorrow And the water's turned to blood And if you don't think so, go turn on your tub And it it's mixed with mud You'll see it turn to gray And you can call my name I hear you call my name
