[female
vocals] (
Whispering,
soft
piano
only)
I
heard
it…
I
heard
the
voice
calling
out
to
me,
Slowly
within
the
chambers
of
my
heart.
It
told
me, “
Wait…
just
wait.”
It
told
me, “
Don’
t
run
away.”
But
I
ran.
I
ran
so
far.
I
heard
the
truth,
but
I
didn't
listen.
I
stood
there
frozen
at
the
parting
of
the
ways,
Two
paths
stretched
out
before
my
tired
eyes.
One
whispered
softly, “
Come
and
walk
with
us,”
The
other
echoed, “
Wait,
be
still
and
know.”
I
searched
the
faces
that
were
standing
near,
Afraid
to
find
myself
alone
again.
I
hid
the
shaking
of
my
heart
inside,
And
wore
a
mask
to
say
I
knew
the
way.
Neema
looked
at
me,
she
saw
the
storm,
She
said, “
Tamu,
don’
t
choose
for
someone
else’
s
sake.
Just
wait,
be
patient,
listen
to
your
soul.”
But
I
was
deafened
by
the
noise
of
fear.
Oh,
I
heard
it,
but
I
didn't
listen,
The
wisdom
that
was
knocking
at
my
door.
I
chose
the
shadows
over
golden
light,
And
now
I’
m
standing
on
a
broken
floor.
The
music
faded
into
empty
air,
I
lost
the
rhythm
of
the
one
I
knew.
I
heard
the
calling,
clear
as
summer
rain,
But
I
let
it
slip
away,
away
from
you.
Now
silence
is
the
guest
that
never
leaves,
It
sits
with
me
at
every
lonely
meal.
I
replay
every
word
you
ever
said,
Trying
to
find
the
parts
I
didn't
feel.
The
clock
is
ticking
in
a
hollow
room,
Each
second
is
a
weight
upon
my
chest.
I
should
have
stopped,
I
should
have
let
it
be,
Instead
of
putting
all
our
love
to
test.
I
walked
away
when
I
should
have
stayed
close,
I
traded
diamonds
for
a
handful
of
sand.
Now
every
memory
is
a
jagged
blade,
Slipping
through
the
fingers
of
my
hand.
Oh,
I
heard
it,
but
I
didn't
listen,
The
wisdom
that
was
knocking
at
my
door.
I
chose
the
shadows
over
golden
light,
And
now
I’
m
standing
on
a
broken
floor.
The
music
faded
into
empty
air,
I
lost
the
rhythm
of
the
one
I
knew.
I
heard
the
calling,
clear
as
summer
rain,
But
I
let
it
slip
away,
away
from
you.
Can
you
hear
me
now,
in
the
quiet
dark?
Do
you
know
I’
m
sorry
for
the
race
I
ran?
If
I
could
rewind
the
tape
of
time,
I’
d
place
my
heart
inside
your
steady
hand.
But
time
is
cruel,
it
never
looks
behind,
It
leaves
us
haunting
places
where
we
stood.
I’
m
haunted
by
the
ghost
of
what
we
had,
And
everything
that
we
once
understood.
Oh,
I
heard
it,
but
I
didn't
listen,
The
wisdom
that
was
knocking
at
my
door.
I
chose
the
shadows
over
golden
light,
And
now
I’
m
standing
on
a
broken
floor.
The
music
faded
into
empty
air,
I
lost
the
rhythm
of
the
one
I
knew.
I
heard
the
calling,
clear
as
summer
rain,
But
I
let
it
slip
away,
away
from
you.
I
heard
it…
I
heard
the
voice…
But
I
didn't
listen.
Tamu,
you
were
the
truth
I
pushed
aside.
Just
a
whisper
in
the
wind
now. (
Fade
out
with
lonely
piano
notes)
