lyrics

My Voice

Life is full of questions
Nights of dark despair
When you look for answers
You find there’s nothing there
Philosophers can’t help us
They say that God is dead
But in your darkest hour, there’s higher power
You can trust instead…

My voice
It’s like a hurricane
My voice
Is stronger than cocaine
If I use my vibrato
Little children shake/ internal organs shake
When I last sang the Marseillaise
I caused a small earthquake

(With) my voice
The deaf can hear again
My voice
Like an oncoming train
I can fracture double-glazing
Alert a ship to fog
When I reach for a high note
I can paralyse a dog with
My voice, ahh!

When I soften to a whisper
I make the flowers bloom
One blast of my fortissimo
Can decimate a room
When Neil Armstrong, flew his rocket
Back in sixty nine
Outer space was silent but for
One lone sound, one great sound, that sound was mine

My voice
The music of the spheres
My voice
Better than Britney Spears/ You wont believe your ears
Once you’ve heard my chanson
You’ll be forever changed
You’ll find that your genetic code
Is re-arranged

My voice
Can tame a wild beast
My voice
Richer than Babette’s Feast/ An unexpected feast/ midnight feast
I’ve the full range of an orchestra
From flute to timpani
When they can’t afford the Philharmonic/ the tuba
Then they hire me and my voice, mm mm

When I warble all the songbirds
Hide behind their wing
Green eyed, the angels up above
All are jealous when I sing
Skies crack open at my descant
The heavens descend
Nuns abandon holy orders
As I ascend, as I ascend

My voice
Can make a grown man weep
My voice
Can raise the dead from sleep
My voice
It is ocean deep
My voice, my voice, my voice

With my latest compilation/ With a big standing ovation
I could feed a starving nation
Just with the power of my voice
Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice
For my voice
You have no choice, but to listen to my voice
