The Voice Within
Christina Aguilera Lyrics
Young girl, don't cry
I'll be right here when your world starts to fall
Oh
Young girl, it's alright
Your tears will dry, you'll soon be free to fly, ooh
When you're safe inside your room, you tend to dream
Of a place where nothing's harder than it seems
No one ever wants or bothers to explain
Of the heartache life can bring and what it means
When there's no one else, look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend, just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength that will guide your way
You'll learn to begin to trust the voice within, oh
Young girl, don't hide
You'll never change if you just run away
Ooh, whoa yeah
Young girl, just hold tight
Soon you're gonna see your brighter day, oh
Now in a world where innocence is quickly claimed
It's so hard to stand your ground when you're so afraid
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
When you look outside, look inside to your soul
When there's no one else, look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend, just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength that will guide your way
If you will learn to begin to trust the voice within
Oh, ho, yeah
Ooh, oh, yea (ooh, ooh, ooh) oh, yeah
Life is a journey (ooh, ooh,ooh)
It can take you anywhere you choose to go (ooh, ooh, ooh)
As long as you're learning (ooh, ooh, ooh)
You'll find all you'll ever need to know (ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Be strong)
Break it (hold on)
You'll make it (be strong)
Just don't forsake it because (hold on)
(No one can tell you what you can't do)
No one can stop you, you know that I'm talking to you
When there's no one else, look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend, just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength that will guide your way
You'll learn to begin to trust the voice within
Ooh, yeah young girl, don't cry, I'll be right here
When your world starts to fall
Yeah
Aah
Yeah
(Listen)
Oh yeah
(Listen)
Na na na (listen, listen)
Oh yeah (listen)
Hmm yeah (listen)

Released in 2003, the single peaked at #33 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Aguilera's 11th Top 40 hit. The single also peaked at #9 in the UK and #19 in Australia. The single is most known for its simplistic, but critically acclaimed music video that was filmed in black and white as a single continuous camera shot. It is also noted for its resembelance to the My Immortal music video by rock group Evanescence which was released around the same time as this video. The video was nominated for three 2004 MTV Video Music Awards, Best Female Video, Viewer's Choice, and Best Cinematography.
Song information
"The Voice Within" was written by both Aguilera and Glen Ballard, and was produced by the latter. The album version extends the song about five seconds and blends it with the next track, "I'm OK".
An alternate edit clocking in at 4 minutes and 26 seconds appears on the compilation album Totally Hits 2004.
Aguilera did not want "The Voice Within" to be released as the fifth single. She was lobbying for "Impossible", a track from Stripped, which was produced by Alicia Keys, as she felt it would help her break into the urban market. RCA Records wanted to release a big ballad during the holiday season like they did the year prior with "Beautiful" and felt that 'The Voice Within' was the perfect candidate. Eventually, Aguilera's label made the final decision and the idea of 'Impossible' being the final single was scrapped.
It was performed on the third season of Australian Idol during "Contestant's Choice" week (Top 9) by Roxane LeBrasse. Despite receiving good reviews from the judges, LeBrasse was eliminated the next night.
The song was performed later by American Idol 5 runner-up Katharine McPhee during 'Songs from the 21st Century' week (Top 10). During this performance, judge Simon Cowell compared McPhee's abilities to that of Aguilera's, saying the former's performance was almost as good as the original singer. He then said it was mediocre during the result show the night after, where McPhee landed in the bottom two.
The song was later performed in the film The Voice Within by Regina Fuller and the title was borrowed for the film.
Music video
The song's music video was directed by David LaChapelle. It opens with a close-up of Aguilera and zooms out to her wearing a slip and sitting in an abandoned prop room. In one continuous black-and-white shot, Aguilera walks through several rooms, exits the building, and finally lays on a light box. The video was filmed at a deserted theater in downtown Los Angeles, California. It is inspired by neorealist works.[1]
"The Voice Within'" was the eleventh video for Aguilera to appear on TRL. The video hit number one twice and spent thirty-seven days on the countdown.

this song saved me from committing suicide when I was 13 after coming out, my family turning their back on me and my mother passing.. it was the hardest time of my life and Christina saved me with 4 minutes of loving words.
Michael White
Yeah, I'm proud of you... but who is saving Christina? Why has she disappeared?
Kat Toneycliffe
That's pretty big mate. Well put! & the world is a better place for having both you and Christina in IN it!
