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
