Do I sound good

Do I sound good? I sit amidst a choir One voice in a sea of sound I drown and no one hears me I'm a sound within a sound

Do I sound good? I want to sound good To be a voice that stands out Enough to be seen And praised and worthy

I'm afraid that I don't sound good But still I have to try I'll practice and pretend Until my voice learns to burn Like fire from the son

Will I ever sound good? I want to want this So badly that I think I do For so long I live like that Lost in lies I can't hear

I don't sound good My voice is not a songbird's My call has no fire To burn the hearts Of those that follow him

But I am not a voice for fire I do not call the heavens down I am a voice for water and the moon I call only for myself and mine

Sounding good no longer matters My voice no longer strains Swimming lost amidst the choir I am my own current and I am my own voice
