Speak Lyrics

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
