Lyrics

Whisper In A World Of Noise
Words & Music by
Lee Kweller & Debi Champion

Mary Ann came to this world
Not of Nature's Choice
With crooked lips and crooked teeth
And speech resembling noise

Now second grade is heaven made
For a face of fine design
But Mary Ann's deformity
Was a soldier out of line

She's a WHISPER IN A WORLD OF NOISE
A song sung in the wrong key
She's a WHISPER IN A WORLD OF NOISE
And a question runs deep in a little girl's eyes
Why me? Why Me?

Every kid would ask her
Hey what happened to your lip?
She lied and said she cut it
With a broken paper clip

But she wore a neon sign
A price she had to pay
And secretly behind her back
You could hear the neighbors say

She's a WHISPER IN A WORLD OF NOISE
A song sung in the wrong key
She's a WHISPER IN A WORLD OF NOISE
And a question runs deep in a little girl's eyes
Why me? Why Me?

Now her teacher, Mrs. Leonard
Saw that Mary Ann's eyes were red
She gently brushed away a tear
Then smiled at her and said...

Mary Ann, when God made you
His work was not so bad
To put the sunshine in your eyes
Took all the love he had

You're a WHISPER IN A WORLD OF NOISE
A spirit running free
You're a WHISPER IN A WORLD OF NOISE
And I'm feeling so glad that this whisper is here
With me.... With me
