Out on my back porch
I can see behind your eyes
the hurricane, of pain
spinning round deep inside.
Giving up on hope
for the chance to even start
calming the storm
quietly rages.

You lose yourself in books
in movies and in song.
When it gets too hard in one place,
hop in the van and move on
Constantly running, away
from those who really care.
It seems too much for you
to care back.

I want to rock you in my arms,
let you cry let you cry.
I want to take on your pain
get it out from inside.
I want to hold you in my arms
and put God's hand around your heart.
Whisper peace.
Whisper peace.

It didn't take too long
for you to get inside my mind.
The mystery of the world
seen through your eyes
drew me in. I wanted
to know every thought inside your head.
Why were you spinning?

I want to rock you in my arms,
let you cry let you cry.
I want to take on your pain
get it out from inside.
I want to hold you in my arms
and put God's hand around your heart.
Whisper peace.
Whisper peace.

Now that you're gone,
there's so much I'll never know.
Will you carry the pain,
or will you let go?
I want to rock you in my arms
and make you whole.
Whole.

I want to rock you in my arms,
let you cry let you cry.
I want to take on your pain
get it out from inside.
I want to hold you in my arms
and put God's hand around your heart.
Whisper peace.
Whisper peace.
Whisper...
