Rise Cast
Whispering (Rise Cast Version)
[Verse 1]
Whispering
Hear the ghosts in the moonlight
Sorrow doing a new dance
Through their bones, through their skin

[Verse 2]
Listening
To the souls in the fool's night
Fumbling mutely with their rude hands
And there's heartache without end

[Chorus]
See the father bent in grief
The mother dressed in mourning
Sister crumbles, and the neighbors grumble
The preacher issues warnings

[Verse 3]
History
Little miss didn't do right
Went and ruined all the true plans
Such a shame. Such a sin

[Verse 4]
Mystery
Home alone on a school night
Harvest moon over the blue land
Summer longing on the wind
[Chorus]
Had a sweetheart on his knees
So faithful and adoring
And he touched me. And I let him love me
So let that be my story

[Verse 5]
Listening
For the hope, for the new life
Something beautiful, a new chance
Hear its whispering there again
