  • I was standing on the edge
    I longed for a new beginning
    But I couldn't look down
    No, I couldn't look down
    I'm a coward

    A million voices screamed in my head
    And I felt sure that I would give in
    So why couldn't I now?
    Why couldn't I now?
    Your voice was louder

    But by design God gave me feelings
    And by design they shall not kill
    But when the noises overwhelm me
    I feel sure that they will

    Oh, liberation comes in whatever form to save me
    I hit bottom, and then the whisper comes
    You whisper in the breeze
    Whispers that I needed
    Quiet words soothe the hurt
    Whisperer

    And though I struggle through the days now
    It helps to know that you are listening
    So I'll just wait it out
    I'll wait this out
    By the hour

    But by design God gave me feelings
    And by design they shall not kill
    But when the noises overwhelm me
    I feel sure that they will

    Oh, liberation comes in whatever form to save me
    I hit bottom, and then the whisper comes
    You whisper in the breeze
    Whispers that I needed
    Quiet words soothe the hurt
