Listening To Small Voices

My voice is so small
How can I change the world
In order to have heaven on earth

I’m not that smart or strong
Either I’m invisible or treated like a dog
No one can hear my voice so small

But my small voice heard your inner child
It was afraid of the gangsters on the corner
It was dreaming of playing in the sprinklers with the other children

I see happiness and love
As you watch your first child comes into this world
As you leave your love ones all alone

I see ways to make the world a better place
As men fight to be the alpha male
As people struggle to hold their families together

Please hear me now before it’s too late
For healing the world is everyone’s fate
Only love can be so great
