Lyrics
STOP, LOOK, LISTEN (A)
c 2005 Teri Wilder
I HAVE A DREAM I AM RUNNING DON'T KNOW WHERE I'M GOING
BUT THE HARDER I RUN THE MORE I CAN SEE NOTHING HAS CHANGED
I HELD ON TIGHT TO MY FEAR AND I SCREAMED SO SOMEONE WOULD HEAR
AND ECHOING BACK FROM DEEP IN MY LACK WAS ONLY MORE OF THE SAME
THEN SOMETHING TOLD ME TO ...
CHORUS
STOP LOOK AROUND AND LISTEN TO THE SILENT SOUND
IT'S THE BREATH OF MY SOUL TELLING ME "I WILL LEAD YOU HOME"
I MET A WOMAN SHE LOVED A MAN WHO JUST COULDN'T SEE HER
SHE SAID, "IF I CAN SHAKE HIM I CAN MAKE HIM LOVE ME"
SO SHE BEGGED AND SHE PLEADED TIL HE SAW ALL THAT HE NEEDED
HE JUST COULDN'T SHARE HER LIFE OF DESPAIR AND MISERY
SHE NEEDED TO....
CHORUS
STOP LOOK AROUND AND LISTEN TO THE SILENT SOUND
IT'S THE BREATH OF HER SOUL TELLING HER "I WILL LEAD YOU HOME"
--- SOLO (1 VERSE) ---
I FOUND A FLOWER IT NEVER KNEW IT COULDN'T BE BEAUTIFUL
FROM SEEDLING TO BLOOM IT ALWAYS HELD ROOM TO GROW
SO LOVELY SO WISE THEN I CAME TO REALIZE
IT GREW JUST FOR ME SIMPLY TO BE ALL I NEEDED TO KNOW
WE ALL NEED TO ...
CHORUS
STOP LOOK AROUND AND LISTEN TO THE SILENT SOUND
IT'S THE BREATH OF YOUR SOUL TELLING YOU "I WILL LEAD YOU HOME"
IT'S TIME TO STOP LOOK AROUND AND LISTEN TO THE SILENT SOUND
IT'S THE BREATH OF YOUR SOUL TELLING YOU "I WILL LEAD YOU HOME"
IT'S THE BREATH OF YOUR SOUL TELLING YOU "I WILL LEAD YOU HOME"
