My partner Ruth Bebermyer was with me at the time
and saw this miracle that comes whenever we hear through the words
to what’s behind them.
I feel so sentenced by your words
I fell so judged and sent away.
Before I go, I’d like to know
Is that what you meant to say?
Before I rise to my defense
Before I speak in hurt or fear
Before I build that wall of words
Tell me, did I really hear?
Words are windows or they’re walls?
They sentence us or set us free
When I speak and when I hear
Let the love light shine through me.
There are things I need to say
Things that mean so much to me
If my words don’t make me clear
Will you help me to be free?
If I seem to put you down
If you felt I didn’t care
Try to listen through my words
To the feelings that we share
Words are windows or they’re walls?
They sentence us or set us free
When I speak and when I hear
Let the love light shine through me.
