Speak

Soft, somewhere beneath all that pain
Under the shame and beneath all that pride
I know you're alive
Tender, underneath all that you show to the world
Nobody knows her that tough city girl
Alone, crying alone on those dark city nights
Of blow by blow memories of hit below fights

Come speak to me now, my heart is open
My eyes can hear, my hands can speak
My lips will read, the salt of the pain
That falls on your cheek
Speak to me now, speak, speak

Frozen, is that the way you are feeling?
All in a day the whole world tumbled down
Gone is the love that you finally found
Alone, sorrow can be so revealing
Just take my hand, let me know what your feeling

Come speak to me now, my heart is open
My eyes can hear, my hands can speak
My lips will read, the salt of the pain
That falls on your cheek
Speak to me now, speak, speak

I see you, I hear you, I feel you, I want you
To tell me the things that are holding you down
Give me your burdens I'll give you this crown
Free, free is a space where we finally know
The time to hold on and the time to let go-oh

Come speak to me now, my heart is open
My eyes can hear, my hands can speak
My lips will read, the salt of the joy
As it falls on your cheek
Speak to me now, speak
