The Voice
Moody Bluegrass Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need to learn the golden rule
Won't you lay it on the line
I need to hear it one more time
Oh, won't you tell me again
Oh, can you feel it?
Oh, won't you tell me again tonight
Each and every heart it seems
Is bounded by a world of dreams
Each and every rising sun
Is greeted by a lonely one
Oh, won't you tell me again
Oh, can you feel it?
Oh, won't you tell me again tonight
Tonight
'Cause out on the ocean of life my love
There's so many storms we must rise above
Can you hear the spirit calling
As it's carried across the waves
You're already falling
It's calling you back to face the music
And the song that is coming through
You're already falling
The one that it's calling you
Make a promise take a vow
And trust your feelings, it's easy now
Understand the voice within
And feel the change already beginning
Oh, won't you tell me again
Oh, can you feel it?
Oh, won't you tell me again tonight
And how many words have I got to say?
And how many times will it be this way?
With your arms around the future
And your back up against the past
You're already falling
It's calling you on to face the music
And the song that is coming through
You're already falling
The one that it's calling is you
Each and every heart it seems
Is bounded by a world of dreams
Each and every rising sun
Is greeted by a lonely one
Oh, won't you tell me again
Oh, can you feel it?
Oh, won't you tell me again tonight
Oh, won't you tell me again
Oh, can you feel it?
Oh, won't you tell me again tonight

Oh, won't you tell me again tonight
I need to hear this truth again before I go to sleep
Each and every heart it seems
Everyone's heart is full of dreams
Is bounded by a world of dreams
We are defined by our aspirations and desires
Each and every rising sun
Each day begins anew
Is greeted by a lonely one
Some people wake up feeling isolated and alone
'Cause out on the ocean of life my love
As we navigate through life
There's so many storms we must rise above
We will face many hardships that we must overcome
Can you hear the spirit calling
Do you hear the voice inside of you guiding you?
As it's carried across the waves
As it resonates throughout your life
You're already falling
You are already losing control
It's calling you back to face the music
It's urging you to confront your problems and mistakes
And the song that is coming through
And the message that you need to hear
Make a promise take a vow
Commit to making a change
And trust your feelings, it's easy now

And feel the change already beginning
And feel the transformation happening within you
And how many words have I got to say?
How many times do I need to express this message?
And how many times will it be this way?
How long will it take for you to make a change?
With your arms around the future
As you embrace what's to come
And your back up against the past
And leave your history behind
Oh, won't you tell me again
I need to hear this message repeatedly
Oh, can you feel it?
Do you sense what I am feeling?
Oh, won't you tell me again tonight
I need to hear this truth again before I go to sleep
Oh, won't you tell me again
I need to hear this message repeatedly
Oh, can you feel it?
Do you sense what I am feeling?
Oh, won't you tell me again tonight
I need to hear this truth again before I go to sleep
