Inner Voice
Still yourself in a silent place
Listening for the footsteps of your inner voice
It is shouting in vain and crying alone
Unheard through this world full of noise
There’s been so many voices that have called
And you’ve followed through their doors
But they only led to hurt and empty rooms
And you were not sure which voice was yours
So they tugged on your sleeves said you only live once
All that matters is your pleasure and needs
Take all that you can and care not for others
There’s no one to judge all your deeds
This path that is dark where the blind lead the blind
Is the way to a cold empty place
Where your life has no meaning and you’re lonely and used
And fall asleep with a tear on your face
Now the silence is deep and a gentle voice calls
It’s the voice of love from your soul
It will lead you back through all of those doors
Forgive you and make you whole
This inner voice this voice of love
Is the greatest gift of all
Let others not lay siege to it
Imprisoned behind a wall
Have faith in love and you will see
This life is not the end
It can feed the poor and heal the sick
And turn an enemy into a friend
The truth it will lay before you
And its light will show the way
Then you will leave the night and walk free
Into the dawn of a beautiful day
You think you’ve walked this world alone
With no-one there to care
And yet you call God’s name when hurt
Because you know that love is there
Let love be the guardian of your soul
It will let no darkness in
And you will see that to intentionally hurt
Is the one and only sin
There’s no fear or guilt in love
And the world’s chains it will tear apart
And there lies the greatest truth of all….
It was always in your heart
