The Whisperer

I was standing on the edge

I'd long for a new beginning

But I couldn't look down, but I couldn't look down

I'm a coward

A million voices screamed in my head

And I felt sure that I would give in

So why couldn't I now? Why couldn't I now?

Your voice was louder

By design God gave me feelings

And by design they shall not kill

But when the noises overwhelm me

I feel sure that they will

Oh, liberation, comes in whatever form to save me

I am burdened, and then the whisper comes

You whisper in the breeze

Whispers that I'm needing

Quiet words, soothe the hurt, whisperer

And though I struggle through the days now

It helps to know that you are listening

So I just wait it out

I'll wait this out, by the hour

By design God gave me feelings

And by design they shall not kill

But when the noises overwhelm me

I feel sure that they will

Oh, liberation, comes in whatever form to save me

I am burdened, and then the whisper comes

You whisper in the breeze

Whispers that I'm needing

Quiet words, soothe the hurt, whisperer
