I wrapped myself up in the chains I wear
I cut myself to make the hurts I bear
And all that I see in their eyes are frightened stares
And nobody wants to know me
It is so dark inside my mind today
A legion of voices is pulling me their way
And I get so weary of all of the terrible things they say
Is this really who I am?
Someone speak to me and bring me some peace today
Silence all these voices but yours
And hold out your hand, pull me out of this grave
When everyone runs away, You’re drawing near
And I see love in Your eyes instead of fear
At the slightest sound of Your voice, oh my mind is so clear
I can hardly believe it’s me,
Oh the things that You say to me…
You spoke to me and brought me…
Can You speak to me and bring me…
