Cliff Richard Lyrics
"Wild Geese"

Look at the golden dawn
See the sunset on the silvery thorn
Just remember it was all for you and me
High on the ragged hill
He was dying and He's dying still
Oh my Lord, You were born to set men 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 closest heart
Could believe that love's a dying art
After all the hungry mouths He fed
Eyes of the Gentle One
Looked for kindness but they gave Him none
Not 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

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
