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
