There's a mockingbird singing outside my window

There's a little girl calling my name

And I hear your voice

It's the sound of your voice

There's a gentle breeze whispering

Stories and secrets through the branches of the old willow tree

And I hear your voice

It's the sound of your voice

God, you know how much I wish I could just hear you say the words

And answer all the questions everybody's asking

But until I hear you speak

Will you help me hear the songs you're singing over all this noise

I will be listening for the sound of your voice

There's a little boy's eyes looking up from a postcard

He's asking 'will you show me love'

And I hear your voice

I hear the sound of your voice

There's a woman who's crying 'cause her hope is dying

And a friend whispers 'you are not alone'

And I hear your voice

I hear the sound of your voice

God, you know how much I wish I could just hear you say the words

And answer all the questions everybody's asking

But until I hear you speak

Will you help me hear the songs you're singing over all this noise

I will be listening for the sound of your voice

I will be listening for the sound of your voice

I will be listening for the sound of your voice

And I'll close my eyes for a moment

When I open them again

You'll be standing there face to face

And I'll sing for joy

And I will finally hear your voice

I will be listening for the sound of your voice

I'll be listening

I will be listening

I will listen for the sound of your voice

With every sunrise you tell me again

How your mercies are new

How your love never ends

I will be listening for the sound of your voice

In the crash of the thunder

In the roar of the waves

I hear your strong arm calling my name

I will be listening for the sound of your voice

The sound of your voice

I am listening

I am listening
