In this life, though the sounds be strained and thin
Let the voice inside me rise, and the strength be beckoned in
For the words within ring more clearly on the outside
They resound beyond the hillside
I am worthy, I am safe
In this life, though my fingers try and fail
Let me breathe through hollow wood living reed let sound prevail
For this whistler's tune shatters emptiness with sweetness
Filling in the gap between us
I am worthy, I am safe
In this life I am but one of a million starving others
Robbed of everything but hunger
We are prisoners together
I am one, but one of many single voices in the silence
That refuse the lies that bind us
We are worthy, we are safe
In this life though my body's stiff and heavy
Let the grace inside my limbs stay the stillness that defends me
For each move I make brings me closer to the dancer
I am healing from my terror
I am worthy, I am safe
In this life I am but one of a million starving others
Robbed of everything but hunger
We are prisoners together
I am one, but one of many single voices in the silence
That refuse the lies that bind us
We are worthy, we are safe
In this life, though the sounds be strained and thin
Let the voice inside me rise, and the strength be beckoned in
For the words within ring more clearly on the outside
They resound beyond the hillside
I am worthy, I am safe
