Un-Stop My Voice

Un-stop my voice

Watch heaven rejoice

Earth recoils in laughter

But people remember ever-after

Watch their faces, empty spaces

Erupt and ripple, spread and tickle

Oh they’re joyful, what an eye-full

Here I am, I stand on stage

Caring not of beauty or of age

Listen! Come to me and gather

My words. My mind. I’d rather

Give it all to you friend

Spread my hands out to lend

My soul — I bare it well

It’s all that’s left...

There is the smell of emptiness

Oh do not partake of my pain

That drifts around, watch it bound

Sing its song, take in the sound

This new laughter I have found

So shun the sting, only sing

Until you feel my Spirit

Come within, feel my embrace

Take these words amid this place

Trust my heart for it is full

Taste these waters, drink the lull

It is my gift to you my friend

So let it heal.
