The Voice Within

There are times when you just feel like the whole world's going against you. Challenges being thrown upon you all at once. Nothing seems right. No one to lend you a helping hand or a shoulder to cry on. You feel so lost and helpless. You want to get away from it all, but you just can't. You feel like you're being bound on the legs to the ground and everything just hits towards you. But when you feel that you are about to give up, listen to the voice within you. The inner voice. That tells you to stay strong, to believe in yourself. That every cloud has a silver lining. That you'll be able to get through all these. That you're a fighter. And when you win the battle, it makes a better You...

Young girl don't cry, I'll be right here when your world starts to fall
Young girl it's all right, your tears will dry, you'll soon be free to fly

When you're safe inside your room, you tend to dream
Of a place where nothing's harder than it seems
No one ever wants or bothers to explain
Of the heartache life can bring and what it means

When there's no one else, look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend, just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength that will guide your way
If you will learn to begin to trust the voice within

Young girl don't hide, you'll never change if you just run away
Young girl just hold tight, and soon you're gonna see your brighter day

Now in a world where innocence is quickly claimed
It's so hard to stand your ground when you're so afraid
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
When you're lost outside, look inside to your soul

When there's no one else, look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend, just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength that will guide your way
If you will learn to begin to trust the voice within

Yeah.. Life is a journey, it can take you anywhere you choose to go
As long as you're learning, you'll find all you'll ever need to know

(Be strong) You'll break it, (hold on) you'll make it
Just don't forsake it because no one can stop you
You know that I'm talking to you

When there's no one else, look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend, just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength that will guide your way
If you will learn to begin to trust the voice within

Young girl don't cry, I'll be right here when your world starts to fall...
