You don’t know where it began You held hope in time unfolding But it’s all in your hands In your self-healing heart The words are on paper through silent cries found Like a fountain without water All penny-less and dry Like a child without a dream To guide them through night It is the voice of reason Like a soothing lullaby Standing upon the shore Looking out to sunrise And as the words on the paper take flight in your mind You ask yourself can a song save your life. It is the arms of a hero As they cradle you tight Like the strength of euphoria Lifting you high And as the words wrote on paper flow free with the tide You ask yourself can a song save your life
