this is the voice that speaks to me this is the mill-town where he spent his life and from a distance we can see it still a hundred streams that meet in rainbow light though the voice is wearing thin I can hear it rise and fall cutting clean through the din to turn my world around this is the voice that shakes me this is the sound that breaks me this is the truth that makes me shout out / stand up this is the voice that shakes me this is the sound that breaks me this is the truth that makes me shout out loud these are the places where he played this is the corner where they gathered round and though his eyes were closed he'd see his people dancing to the tunes he made and though the music's growing dim I still hear its rise and fall cutting clear though the din to turn my world around you ask me why we celebrate when nothing has been won we take dark hours and make 'em great that's all we've ever done this is the voice that shakes me this is the sound that breaks me this is the truth that makes me shout out / stand up this is the voice that shakes me this is the sound that breaks me this is the truth that makes me shout out loud
