Unwritten Song

from Behind a Veil by Jess Klein

/

lyrics

I can see that you’ve been cryin’
From your lowered eyes
And your puffy cheeks
I can see how hard you’re tryin’
Tryin’ to keep it in
Tryin’ not to speak

I know it’s not always easy
To say the words
When you’re unsure yourself
But the very words you fear the most
Might be beautiful to someone else

Chorus:
I wanna hear your unwritten song
I wanna be here to sing along
To the words you don’t say
When you think them anyway
I wanna see your omitted scenes
I wanna watch while your dream gets dreamed
Watch and listen on replay
To your unwritten song

On the days when you’ve got nothing left
I wanna help you ask
“Now what is next?”
And help you feel you have a choice to make
To make this life yours
For heaven’s sake

In the times when your pulse races
Like the moment the batter hits the ball
And runs all four bases
I want their cheers to get to you
I wanna help you ask
“What are the great things I can do?”

Chorus
