Speak

If you speak, I will hear your voice I've been listening for the sound For the words that form to cross your lips, ring in my ears Gather up the strength and trust enough to do it Like when you were young, there was nothing to it Oh open up your heart I just wanna know, I just wanna feel If ever there's a chance of getting something real Oh you know it's worth the fight And if you speak, I will hear your voice I've been listening for the sound For the words that form to cross your lips, ring in my ears You're standing still, everything is moving The light, the heat, the color of the moment Oh, I can't let it pass us by It's burning in your chest, blazing like a fire Shut up in your bones, balanced on a wire Oh there's no holding back the flood To bridge the fear and the anguish deep In the peace we share, such a sweet release No sentimental, ordinary, holy mystery You're keeping locked inside Is there a word that's ringing true? Or some coded combination for getting through to you? There must be a thousand ways to break our hearts It only takes a word to penetrate the dark The silence closing in on every side Can never stop the light from shining
