(McKinley)
If I raise my voice, ask God to let me go
will I hear my heart fall over?
Will He feel short one soul?
Will He miss me at all?
Will He miss me at all?
If you saw my face then, saw me hollowed out
would you lay your hands on my chest,
feel for my heart?
Would you miss me at all?
Would you miss me at all?I heard music lighting up my darkness
I felt the phrase melt away my sadness
A melody as potent as wine
I let it sweep me out of my depression
I let it point me in a new direction
Breathing hope on this life of mine
Now who could fail
To let it touch the honesty, within them
And who could help
But be comforted inside
It took a harmony to heal the bad times
It took a rythem to release the sunshine
Even then, it took me so long
To break the silence I'd resigned my life to
To break down barriers I'd shut my eyes to
Releasing me from all that was wrong
Now I don't try
To understand the way it moves my spirit
That is why
S'pose I'll never know
How a subtle change of key
Can do these things to me
And make me feel, like I feel
I heard music lighting up my darkness
I felt the phrase melt away my sadness
A melody as potent as wine
I let it sweep me out of my depression
I let it point me in a new direction
Breathing hope on this life of mine
