It’s 5 am and all is quiet
But I hear voices in my head
One says, “I should seek out comfort”
Another, “Give it all away”
This life is complex and confusing
Not many wise enough to know
But I will always keep on seeking
The Voice that whispers in the Wind.
It’s the Voice that cleared away the darkness
It’s the Voice that separated seas
It’s the Voice that speaks against oppression
The Voice that whispers in the Wind
So many voices that I’m hearing
Got to listen through the buzz
One says, “Give it up and follow”
Another, “You are just a fool”
The call of comfort keeps on screaming
I listen hard to sort it out
But I will always keep on seeking
The Voice that whispers in the Wind
It’s the Voice that cleared away the darkness
It’s the Voice that separated seas
It’s the Voice that speaks against oppression
The Voice that whispers in the Wind
It’s the Voice that says I am holy
It’s the Voice that calls me by name
It’s the Voice that heals all my sickness
The Voice that whispers in the Wind*
