When the Heart Speaks

 

When the Heart Speaks

William S. Becker

When the room is quiet and the lights are low,

It doesn't mean that you don't know.

When the world is screaming deep inside,

It's not a reason to run and hide.

It's a time to truly listen to the heart,

Then let the mind decide where to start.

For every wound that life has made,

There's a truth beneath the scars that stayed.

The heart may break, the tears may fall,

But love still waits beyond it all.

And every shadow that clouds the day,

Is another chance to find the way.

Don't curse the darkness, don't fear the night,

The deepest longing can lead to light.

For what you seek is not yours alone,

It's found in the hearts you've come to know.

So take that pain and turn it around,

Let love be the answer that you've found.

For when our hearts begin to blend,

The lonely road has reached its end.

And when the room is quiet once more,

You'll know what all the pain was for.

Not to receive, not to stand apart,

But to give the love within your heart.
