The Voice of Reason

When your days are cold your sun is rising low

when it goes against the balance that you know

all the words we use to color,

all the dreams we use to dream

and I have come to listen while you sing

When what you are feels more like what you're not

when what you owe is more than what you got

The voice of reason finds you and it tells you where to be

I have come to tell you to be free

When the words you been given ain’t being got

and the footsteps you been walking got you lost

when your feeling small inside is there still something to be given

I have come to beckon you to listen

And the morning calls your name and says noway

when winter falls on every word you say

when you know its not your time but you're so damn ready

I am coming to tell you to be steady

I have come to tell you to go on

Its the fearless hope inside you keeps you free

with one foot at the pavement the other lost at sea

And you only know the realness when the tears are in your eye

I have come to listen while you cry

I have come to give you this goodbye

When your walking into clouds you can't see through

when the windows and walls conspire against you

when there's nobody to listen is there something still to say

I am here to tell you, its okay

I am coming to tell you to wait

So I'll step out of my body and my voice

evacuate so I can hear the noise

If I am not me, you are not you

we know not what we know

I have come to tell you to let go
