Music In Me - Paula Cole

The echo of shame

The voice inside my head

The need for love

The insecurity

Cutting me down

To the fourteen year old girl

The Father Figure criticizing me

Go on – through the darkest night

Cause I know

Inside the answer's here in me

There's blood on my soul

For speaking out my pain

Perpetuating hurt in family

My mother in me

I cannot explain

My need for love

From her will never wane

Go on – through the darkest night

Cause I know

Inside the answer's here in me

Go on – the shadowboxing fight

Disappears when all the music's

Here in me

Like an oracle the music's here in me

And I thank you God

For music here in me

Breaking through the answer's here in me

Go on – through the darkest night

Cause I know

Inside the answer's here in me

Go on – the shadowboxing fight

And I'll heal with understanding

And I'll deal with patient loving

And I'll make it

Cause the music's here in me
