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
