I was standing on the edge
I'd long for a new beginning
But I couldn't look down, but I couldn't look down
I went cold
A million voices scream in my head
And I felt sure that I would give in
So why couldn't I now, why couldn't I now?
Your voice was louder

By design, God gave me feelings
And by the design they shalt not kill
But when the noises overwhelm me
I feel sure that they will

Oh revelation, comes in whatever form to save me
I hear voices, and then the whisper comes
Your whisper in the breeze
Your whisper's what I'm needing
Quiet bursts, so to hurt the whisperer

And though I struggle through the days now
It helps to know that you are listening
So I just wait it out
I'll wait this out, by the hour

By design, God gave me feelings
And by the design they shalt not kill
But when the noises overwhelm me
I feel sure that they will

Oh revelation, comes in whatever form to save me
I hear voices, and then the whisper comes
Your whisper in the breeze
Your whisper's what I'm needing
Quiet bursts, so to hurt the whisperer
