Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the Light that I see; only comes alive
every time I hear your voice.
There is a joy that i have; in spite of the
sorrow that surrounds me
And the Joy that i have; only comes alive
every time I hear your voice
There is a peace deep down in my soul; in spite of the crisis that surrounds me
(sounds)
There is a hope i have in me; in spite of the destruction that surrounds me
And the hope deep within; only comes alive every time I hear your voice
There is a call that i hear; in spite of the destruction that surrounds me
And the call that i hear; only comes alive every time I hear your voice
There is a rest that i have seen; in spite of the terror that surrounds me
And the rest that i have seen; only comes alive every time I hear your voice
(sounds)
I can't deny; so i declare
Nothing can satisfy me
I can't pretend; not to be aware that you are the bread of life
that you are the bread of life 3
(sounds)
There is a light, There is a joy,
There is a peace, There is a hope
There is a joy down in my soul
and its a joy i cant control
There is a call, There is a rest
There is a rest that i have seen,
everytime i hear your voice
(sounds)
There is a call, There is a rest
There is a rest that i have seen,
everytime i hear your voice
(sounds)
There is a way, There is a light
There is a light that i have seen,
everytime i hear your voice
(sounds)
