10. Voice in Ramah
Written by: Zack Kibodeaux

When I was a boy in the Great War
I walked all around in the dark
But you were the light in a father’s eyes
On the day you were born

We grew up in fields on the outside
Pulling black London gold from the ground
I saw the smoke in a daydream
And when the rain came falling down

I thought I heard a voice in Ramah
The sound of weeping and loud lamentation
Rachel weeping for her children
Because they are no more, because they are no more

There in the lights ‘til the morning broke
I stood on the edge of the mound
With a man from from the press giving words of hope
Saying that all's quiet now

But I thought I heard a voice in Ramah
The sound of weeping and loud lamentation
Rachel weeping for her children
Because they are no more, because they are no more

I dream you in your communion dress
I dream you in warm streets of light
But I’d give the world for a night of rest
To get you out of my mind

To never have heard a voice in Ramah,
The sound of weeping and loud lamentation
Rachel weeping for her children
Because they are no more, because they are no more
