| 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 |
