Lately I've been so slow to answer I've been choosing my words carefully Give me some time and a clear head And I'll tell you everything I've seen I'll tell you everything I've got a lifetime of things to say So softly spoken from within So listen, close to the silence And you will find peace again Suddenly everything's so far away In my ear there's a whisper Among the cries So I try to see past the illusion But the world gets into my eyes I've got a lifetime of things to say So softly spoken from within So listen, close to the silence There are voices on the wind So listen close to the silence And you will find peace again Through the noise I heard you say "You'll find your way" So see me now a wandering child Searching for peace 'cause I've got a lifetime of things to say So softly spoken from within So listen, close to the silence There are voices on the wind So listen close to the silence And you will find peace again
