Finding The Right Words Lyrics

I've rehearsed this a thousand times

Standing in the shadow of my mind

Every phrase I try to frame

Feels too weak or sounds the same

I hold my breath I take a step

But fear's a weight I haven't left

Caught between my heart and tongue

The words escape before they're sung

I'm finding the right words to say

To make you understand to light the way

Every whisper every line

Carries the truth I'm trying to find

It's not just letters not just sound

It's meaning that needs to be found

I see your eyes they're searching too

Waiting for a moment to break through

But silence wraps around our hands

A fragile bridge that barely stands

I know the power words can bring

But they feel like birds with broken wings

Still I'll gather them piece by piece

To craft a song that brings us peace

I'm finding the right words to say

To make you understand to light the way

Every whisper every line

Carries the truth I'm trying to find

It's not just letters not just sound

It's meaning that needs to be found

It's not perfection that I seek

Just honesty when I speak

Even if they come out wrong

I'll rewrite them until they're strong

I'm finding the right words to say

To make you understand to light the way

Every whisper every line

Carries the truth I'm trying to find

It's not just letters not just sound

It's meaning that needs to be found

So here I stand I'll take the chance

To give my words a fighting stance

For what I feel for what I see

The right words will set us free
