Sophia’s Voice - Lyrics Intro Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C Fmaj6 Em Fmaj6 Fmaj7 Am Verse 1 Dm Am Did your friends ever laugh at you in the playground at school?

Did she think she might survive without that Jasper Conran dress?

Her teaching occurs in the street, at the city gate and marketplace, where politics and commerce take place, where integrity and wisdom are most needed to insure justice and the future well-being of the people: Wisdom cries aloud in the street; In the markets she raises her voice; On the top of the walls she cries out; At the entrance of the city gates she speaks. "How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple? How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing And fools hate knowledge?" --Sophia, Proverbs -----------------------------------------------------------------

In the dark my heart is distant thunder In the dark I am the eye of the hurricane In the dark my thoughts swirl like blossom in the spring And my tears fall like summer rain In the dark my body is bedrock In the dark my aspirations fill the sky In the dark I see through the eyes of a blind man And my soul feels like a spy And a casket of cobwebs holds all that is real In invisible suspensions from the stars And through a garland of roses flows the lifeblood of a nation To the serenade of fiddles and guitars In the dark sweet colour has no substance And the silence, when you hear it, is pure gold And every sound transforms into a symphony of sonneteers From the darkness, from the silence, from the cold In the dark I am devil and angel And sometimes I meet with my dead friends And when my dreams fandango round the rooftops of my mind They keep me praying right to the bitter end -------------------------------------------------------------
