Jeremy Casella - Speak Lyrics

If you speak, I will hear your voice
I've been listening for the sound
For the words that form to cross your lips, ring in my ears

Gather up the strength and trust enough to do it
Like when you were young, there was nothing to it
Oh open up your heart
I just wanna know, I just wanna feel
If ever there's a chance of getting something real
Oh you know it's worth the fight

And if you speak, I will hear your voice
I've been listening for the sound
For the words that form to cross your lips, ring in my ears

You're standing still, everything is moving
The light, the heat, the color of the moment
Oh, I can't let it pass us by
It's burning in your chest, blazing like a fire
Shut up in your bones, balanced on a wire
Oh there's no holding back the flood

To bridge the fear and the anguish deep
In the peace we share, such a sweet release
No sentimental, ordinary, holy mystery
You're keeping locked inside

Is there a word that's ringing true?
Or some coded combination for getting through to you?

There must be a thousand ways to break our hearts
It only takes a word to penetrate the dark
The silence closing in on every side
Can never stop the light from shining
