From the recording Something to Believe

Lyrics

SOMETHING TO BELIEVE
Copyright 2004 Dana Clark
 
You were fragile as a child
You were quiet as a mouse
You grew up in a house that looked like every other house
You were taught the proper things to say
And told how you should feel
And as the years went by
You used your silence as a shield
 
CHORUS: But the quiet voice of conscience is a friend we learn to trust
And we dream of things we'd like to do while doing what we must
When the ordinary answers leave our burdens unrelieved
We have to search beyond them to find something to believe
 
You were taught to hide your feelings and to do what you were told
But no matter how you tried you could never fit the mold
Your questions were unanswered, your doubting heart unsatisfied
When you found no one would listen you tried to hold it all inside
 
CHORUS: But the quiet voice of conscience...
 
No one is born a blank slate for the past to write upon
Or an empty bucket to be filled with rules of right and wrong
Our minds were made to question each assumption each belief
And from the truth we find we build our own theology

CHORUS: But the quiet voice of conscience…..
