I heard a whisper behind my eyes
it said “Whoever sees me dies”

I heard a whisper behind my throat
it said “No words now, only notes”

And I cannot know what keeps whispering these darts
I am at the mercy of the Voice behind my heart

I heard a whisper behind my will
it said “I pour into what is still”

I heard a whisper behind my fear
it said “Come here”

Refrain

Wounding me with all these little arrows

Somehow grace can take the deaf
and put an ear inside their chest (2x’s)
