I'm playing my guitar while my sister bangs the jar   The glass sets up a sound like people laughing   It's going to my brain and it's easing all my pain   I must hear this sound again 'cause time is passing      I'm walking by the sea and the seagull sings for me   The crabs are swimming down among the starfish   The rocks, all clatter down, seagulls fly around   But the whole trip rubs it in that time is passing, passing      Find it, I got to hear it all again   My heart has heard the sound of harmony   Blind to it as my tears fall again   It's only by the music I'll be free      There's something in the whisper of the trees   Millions hear it, still they can't believe   There are echoes of it splashing in the waves   As an empire of dead men leave their graves      Don't listen to people talk, don't listen to 'em selling souls   Don't listen to me or words from men above   Don't hear it in your needs and don't hear it in your greeds   Just hear it in the sound of time a passing      Find it, I got to hear it all again   My heart has heard the sound of harmony   Blind to it as my tears fall again   It's only by the music I'll be free
