Week 33 - Voice (230814)

from Song A Week, Vol. 8 by James Tristan Redding

lyrics

Whoever God is
I come to you in prayer
Although I question
If you're even there

Spirit broken
Body run aground
Why build this voice
That hardly makes a sound

You grant the birds a chance to sing
And you allow church bells to ring
You give a whistle and a hum to that train passing through

You put these feelings in my heart
And wake me shaking in the dark
Why do I have a voice if I can't speak to you

Well since forever
The forest it can sing
If one tree's fallen
That doesn't change a thing

My bark is silent
These branches crooked lines
Reaching and begging
To get this off my mind
