I was beaten down I was broken by the night I couldn't hear for all the noise Didn't know who I was or where I'm going That's when I heard the voice It said, "Some I gave a heart for healing, Some have the anger that destroys, Others work and build and harvest with their hands, To you, I gave the voice" Raise it up and send it over Sing for sorrow, sing for joy Let your heart beat loud in answer For I gave you the voice Looking back, I guess I've always had a song Running through my head Maybe I've never had a choice And I've lived like lightning over water Looking for a place to land Moving on Following the voice Raise it up and send it over Sing your sorrow, sing your joy Let your heart beat loud in answer To you I gave the voice Voices ring, voices sound Together or alone When you're up, when you're down Carrying you home Raise it up and send it over Sing your sorrow, sing your joy Let your heart beat loud in answer To you I gave the voice
