Whispers In My Mind

Whispers In My Mind The spirits of my ancestors cry out to me tonight Wanting to help me through this darksome plight Whispering wisdom from beyond Telling me to ever strongly hold on Filling my mind with memories dim Promising to reveal from within The one who tortures my very soul And with a quick word my peace stole Listen to us they whisper urgently To the past keep looking diligently Never give up what your heart sees as right Keep moving forward to win this hard fight Listen sweet child to your ancestors pleas Only then can you finally and forever break free From the chains that bind and hold you down still From the crushing pain that seeks to devour your will Listen to me a voice rings out clear I have always helped to wipe your tears Never have I left thought it seemed that way Remember now the name from that day But before my mind can grasp the news My ancestors are quieted just like my muse.
