Voices - Mindy Braasch
Inspiration:
All the time, every day, there are voices telling you how what you should think and how you should act. This song is about weeding through all of that and deciding who to listen to, and ultimately, figuring out who you are as a person.
Lyrics:
There lies a little girl who calls to me to say
Won’t you come over to me and play?
The innocence in her eyes, the wideness of her stare
The grass growing greenly underneath her hair
The magic of pretend, meant to last for life
But the world swallows up her joy and her mind
It tells her what is right; how is she to know
What to follow and where to go
Chorus:
What do I do? What do I say?
So many voices inside me, which way?
How will I know where to begin
Before it’s the end? The end, the end
The sweetness of love, the pain of love’s end
How can you live your life with love and never have regrets?
Don’t always believe the heart; it’s blind in its despair
One wants best for her, the other doesn’t care
Chorus
There lies an older girl inside of me today
She hasn’t let her dreams fade away
