Peter Mulvey - The Voice Lyrics
I want a voiceI want a deep, resonant, effortless voiceA big voice - bigger than meI want to speak and hear the floorboards take it upso that people hear me first with their bodies,and only then with their earsa voice, strong like an axe to cut through the silencestrange like distant flutes, to still the sensesa voice to quicken the heart like drums in the nightI want to breathe a whisper that shivers like a starover some strange bethlehem on some cold stonecircling some distant sunI want a voice like the voice of manythe voice of a peoplethe voice of a nationand with this voice I would cry freedomand then I would speak peace
