[Verse 1]
G
I hear something calling to me.
D G
It seems to me I've heard it before.
G
Something that I've known all along
D G
But my heart says I've just got to hear more.
C
Ev'rybody open your ears;
G
He's tryin' to set your mind at ease;
D C G
You know who it is; won't you listen if you please.
[Chorus]
D C
A-ee! Can't you hear it calling to you?
G
And won't you try to understand?
D
All I'm tryin' to say
C G
The Kingdom of Heaven's at hand!
D
A-ee! A-ee!
[Verse 2]
G
Once upon a time, can you hear?
D G
A man fell, he fell asleep.
G
He didn't realize he was dreamin'
D G
So he thought that it was reality.
C
Then one day he heard the alarm;
G
Then one day he heard the call;
D C G
And as he was waking up, walls began to tumble and fall.
[Chorus]
D C
A-ee! Can't you hear it calling to you?
G
And won't you try to understand?
D
All I'm tryin' to say
C G
The Kingdom of Heaven's at hand!
D
A-ee! A-ee!
[Verse 3]
G
Come on brother, live your life
D G
The way that Father wants you to do.
G
Forget about all sorrow and strife,
D G
And joy just has to come unto you.
C
Come on brother, try to decide;
G
It's no easy road to be free.
D C G
But the day of the flaming sword be the day of victory.
[Chorus]
D C
A-ee! Can't you hear it calling to you?
G
And won't you try to understand?
D
All I'm tryin' to say
C G
The Kingdom of Heaven's at hand!
D
A-ee! A-ee!
