Give my pain a voice; it's lost in the shouting world
Echoes of bitterness - they're faint, so listen close
There! a whisper in the noise ...
Can you tell me what you hear?
'this has happened before,' you say
Tell me what I can do.'
Cut deep, past the sound of a million voices
Follow it down and tell me what you hear ....
It hurts, it bleeds - let them hear me
It aches, it screams - oh please, let her hear me
It's down there, so soft you can barely hear it
Please, pull it out and give my pain a voice
Hold that thread of sound
It's a precious thing indeed
Let it speak for me
Words will cauterize the wounds
Will you do this?
Will you dive into the raw edges of this ache?
I can't .... I can't say the words
It hurts, it bleeds - let them hear me
It aches, it screams - oh please, let her hear me
