This Is the Voice
[Intro]
This is the voice
This is the sound
That makes me shout out loud

[Verse 1]
This is the voice that speaks to me
This is the mill town where he spent his life
And from a distance we can see it still
A hundred streams that meet in rainbow light

[Pre-Chorus]
Though the voice is wearing thin
I can hear it rise and fall
Cutting clear through the din
To turn my world around

[Chorus]
This is the voice that shakes me
This is the sound that breaks me
This is the truth that makes me
Shout out
This is the voice that shakes me
This is the sound that breaks mе
This is the truth that makes me
Stand up
This is thе voice that shakes me
This is the sound that breaks me
This is the truth that makes me
Shout out loud
[Verse 2]
These are the places where he played
This is the corner where they gathered round
And though his eyes were closed he'd see
His people dancing to the tunes he made

[Pre-Chorus]
And though the music's growing dim
I still hear its rise and fall
Cutting clear though the din
To turn my world around

[Chorus]
This is the voice that shakes me
This is the sound that breaks me
This is the truth that makes me
Shout out
This is the voice that shakes me
This is the sound that breaks me
This is the truth that makes me
Stand up
This is the voice that shakes me
This is the sound that breaks me
This is the truth that makes me
Shout out loud
[Bridge]
You ask me why we celebrate
When nothing has been won
We take dark hours, we make 'em great
That's all we've ever done

[Outro]
This is the voice
This is the sound
That makes me shout out
This is the voice
This is the sound
That makes me stand up
This is the voice (This is the voice that shakes me)
This is the sound
That makes me shout out
This is the voice (This is the voice that shakes me)
This is the sound (This is the sound that breaks me)
That makes me stand up
Play me a song that breaks down doors (Shout!)
Come on, play me a song that breaks down doors (Shout!)
Play me a song that breaks down doors (Shout!)
Come on, play me a song that breaks down doors (Shout!)
This is the voice that shakes me
This is the voice that shakes me
Shout out
Shout!
This is the voice that (Shout!) shakes me, breaks me
Shout!
This is the voice that (Shout!) shakes me, breaks me
This is the voice (This is the voice that shakes me)
This is the sound (The voice that breaks me)
That makes me shout out (The voice that wakes me, the voice that takes me)
This is the voice (Voice that slakes me)
This is the sound (Voice that makes me)
That makes me shout out loud
Shout!
