Lately I've been so slow to answer   I've been choosing my words carefully   Give me some time and a clear head   And I'll tell you everything I've seen   I'll tell you everything      I've got a lifetime of things to say   So softly spoken from within   So listen, close to the silence   You will find peace again      Suddenly every thing's so far away   In my ear there's a whisper among the cries   So I try to see past the illusion   But the world gets into my eyes      I've got a lifetime of things to say   So softly spoken from within   So listen, close to the silence   There are voices on the wind   So listen close to the silence   You will find peace again      Then through the noise I heard you say   You'll find your way   So see me now a wandering child   Searching for peace 'cause      I've got a lifetime of things to say   So softly spoken from within   So listen, close to the silence   There are voices on the wind   So listen close to the silence   You will find peace again
