• Song Title: The Voice Within
• Album: Stripped

Young girl, don't cry.
I'll be right here when your world starts to fall.
Young girl, it's alright,
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 to bother to explain,
Of the heartache life can bring and what it means.

CHORUS:
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.
You'll 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.
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 look outside, look inside to your soul.

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Life is a journey. It can take you anywhere you choose to go.
As long as you're learning, you'll find all you need to know.
(Be strong) You'll break it. (Hold on) You'll make it.
Just don't forsake it because,
No one can tell you what you can't do.
No one can stop you, you know that I'm talking to you.

REPEAT CHORUS

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