The Voice Lyrics
I want a voice
I want a deep, resonant, effortless voice
A big voice - bigger than me
I want to speak and hear the floorboards take it up
so that people hear me first with their bodies,
and only then with their earsa voice, strong like an axe to cut through the silence
strange like distant flutes, to still the senses
a voice to quicken the heart like drums in the nightI want to breathe a whisper that shivers like a star
over some strange bethlehem on some cold stone
circling some distant sunI want a voice like the voice of many
the voice of a people
the voice of a nation
and with this voice I would cry freedom
and then I would speak peace
Enjoy the lyrics !!!
