Lullaby No. 12 – Identity

A lasting Word fell from the sky

And landed in my voice

I screamed aloud

As it tore through the white noise

That's left me quiet

The winds

Their howls

They have all been put down

They left me in the silence

No rasp

No voice

I'm always in this stillness

In the echo of my soul

And in the silence

I can hear my voice sing

I tried to find the Words

But then I stopped and I fell silent

So silence I became

The winds

Their howls

They have all been put down

They left me in the silence

No rasp

No voice

I'm always in this stillness

In the echo of my soul

I took the Word from the sky

And then I wrote a song

I knew that somehow

I could find my voice

But then I heard the sky falling

It was silent too

So I stayed in the silence

True

The winds

Their howls

They have all been put down

They left me in the silence

No rasp

No voice

I'm always in this stillness

In the echo of my soul
