The Voice

I was beaten down
I was broken by the night
I couldn’t hear for all the noise
Didn’t know who I was or where I’m going
That’s when I heard the voice
It said, «Some I gave a heart for healing,
Some have the anger that destroys,
Others work and build and harvest with their hands,
To you, I gave the voice»
Raise it up and send it over
Sing for sorrow, sing for joy
Let your heart beat loud in answer
For I gave you the voice
Looking back, I guess I’ve always had a song
Running through my head
Maybe I’ve never had a choice
And I’ve lived like lightning over water
Looking for a place to land
Moving on
Following the voice
Raise it up and send it over
Sing your sorrow, sing your joy
Let your heart beat loud in answer
To you I gave the voice
Voices ring, voices sound
Together or alone
When you’re up, when you’re down
Carrying you home
Raise it up and send it over
Sing your sorrow, sing your joy
Let your heart beat loud in answer
To you I gave the voice
