Intro
Please pay attention – not just to the words
But to the silent spaces between the words
Chorus
The inspiration you seek is already within
Be silent and listen now ready, begin (2x)
Verse 1
I can hear the voice of God
When the noise is off tellin' me the choice is ours
You'll be either destroyed and marred
By your vanity or otherwise don't avoid what's hard
As I'm still to listen then
The heaven within the world reveals the hidden gem
That's worth more than bills and dividends
Restoring my spirit with the will to live again
Chorus
The inspiration you seek is already within
Be silent and listen now ready, begin (2x)
Verse 2
When my breath is taken
And need wind I breathe in my restoration
Then I'm forever patient
In the eternal state of mind and never waitin'
So when my head is racin'
I return to my spirit in meditation
Now the stress I'm facin'
Is just replaced with a blessed elation
Chorus
The inspiration you seek is already within
Be silent and listen now ready, begin (2x)
Verse 3
Life's alive and is filled with
The luminous wonder of silence and stillness
Permeating everything
Dulling the blow of death and its devestating deadly sting
I'm awoke from livin' lies
My faith is awakened and my hope is vivified
The eye in my inner lens
Can only see the glory that's shining and shimmering
Chorus
The inspiration you seek is already within
Be silent and listen now ready, begin (2x)
Verse 4
Even the frauds and liars
Won't expunge or overcome what God inspired
Every place it's seen and heard
That pause between the notes, the space between the words
In which we live, move and have our being
This is the only kind of life I can imagine seein'
The wisdom of the wisest
Will elevate your soul by listening to silence
