Squeeze - There Is a Voice lyrics

(Difford/Tilbrook)

There is a voice within us all

That says destruct

Go to the wall

And you can't choose when this voice speaks

Deep in our souls

This voice will sleep

There is a voice within us all

That says destruct

And you will crawl

From your own pit into the deep

Where you will sink

Until it speaks

Each day is a night

Then your lifetime is gone

There is a voice inside us all

That says rebuild

And when it's called

All that is wrong can be put right

There in your soul

To change your life

Each day's a hope each day's a prayer

That I might build

And I'll repair

The parts in me that may have slipped

Deep in my soul

When I lose my grip

And there's ropes and chains

Slowing me as I walk

I feel hope through pain

As the road ahead forks

To the left and the right

To the right and the wrong
