Lyric

We sang before the night arrived

Before the drums, before the flame

Our voices rose in borrowed hope

But heaven never called our name

This is the unanswered hymn

Still echoing in air

Every word we offered up

Was met with empty prayer

Hands were joined, eyes turned above

We waited for a sign

But all that came was silent light

That slowly crossed the line

This is the unanswered hymn

No voice returns the sound

The higher that our pleading climbed

The less was ever found

Still we sing with trembling breath

As if belief remains

Not to be saved, nor understood

But just to ease the pain

This is the unanswered hymn

No answer left to find

Yet still we raise our fragile voices

Leaving hope behind

If no one hears what we became

And no one answers when we pray

Then let this hymn remain unheard

Until the breaking day
