From the recording The Unending Alteration of the Human Heart
Lyrics
words and music by Gabrielle Louise
In the darkness, in the vastness
the quiet - it is a canvas
so be still; stillness speaks.
I'm not waiting on any god there
I'm not sending up any prayer
I am still because stillness speaks.
Oohs
When the fury blows fast around you
there is one word to always ground you
It is joy; joy will speak.
And the hateful, they may shout louder
but to their judgments they are bound
So be joy; joy will speak.
Oohs
In the darkness, in the blackness
your kindness, it is a candle
so be kind; kindness speaks
And the hateful, they may shout louder
but to their judgment, they are bound
so be kind, kindness speaks.
Oohs
So be kind; kindness speaks.
Be joy because joy will speak.
Be still; stillness speaks.
