The Whisperer

The Whisperer
I was standing on the edge
I'd long for a new beginning
But I couldn't look down, but I couldn't look down
I'm a coward
A million voices scream in my head
And I felt sure that I would give in
So why couldn't I now, why couldn't I now
Your voice was louder

By design, God gave me feelings
And by design they shall not kill
But when the noises overwhelm me
I feel sure that they will
Oh, liberation, comes in whatever form to save me
I am burdened
And then the whisper comes
Your whisper in the breeze
Your whisper's what I'm needing
Quiet bursts
So to hurt
The whisperer
And though I struggle through the days now
It helps to know that you are listening
So I just wait it out
I'll wait this out, by the hour
But by the design God gave me feelings
And by the design they shall not count
But when the noises over run me
I felt sure the day will
Oh, liberation, comes in whatever form to save me
I am burdened
And then the whisper comes
Your whisper in the breeze
Your whisper's what I'm needing
Quiet words
soothe the hurt
