Look at the golden dawn 
See the sunset on the silver 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 me 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, yeah 

Eyes on the gentle one 
Looked for the 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

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
