When so much was going around

When my world was abuzz with sound

You whispered this song in my ear

Each word of yours was crystal clear

You sang with such fervour and love

It even moved the angels above

The words in this whispered song

To the home of truth belong

They brought such light and peace

That all other sounds now cease

Now all is silent no sounds I hear

In this precious silence dear

Let me offer your song to you

Let me be your voice for you
