Now the village mission bells are softly ringing
Noting the soft ringing of mission bells in the village.
If you listen with your heart you'll hear them singing

Wherever you may be, I'll be beside you
Promising to be beside the loved one wherever they are.
Although you're many million dreams away
Acknowledging physical distance but expressing a deep connection.
Each night I'll say a prayer, a prayer to guide you
