Bells of August

Who will hear the bells of August
Who will answer to their call
When will people know the answer
Is not to answer them at all

Neighbor gets his views from
Cheap TV News
Words to keep us all apart
Mother just wants her son back
Home again
To heal her broken heart

And they cannot hear
What they will not hear
Sweet cinnamon in the air

Who will tell the mother and father
The news from very far away
After years of wait and worry
The child is coming home today

Once they fought for the illusion
Many grudges from the past
Now they're looking toward the future
The child is coming home at last

Who will hear the bells of August
Who will answer to their call
When will people know the answer
Is not to answer them at all

And they cannot hear
What they will not hear
Sweet cinnamon in the air
