Unsung Words © 2008, Lisa Venkatrathnam Unsung words Are trapped and caught Beneath the ceiling Of my heart I try to say The simplest things Cannot pray Cannot sing Am I scared To tell the truth? Why am I So far from you? Unwritten lies Unspoken blame Unanswered ‘whys’ Unraveled faith You welcome my silence And ask for me to come So turn this muted life Into a living song Even rocks Can sing your name But words refuse To leave this cage A voiceless gift Must speak for me Unscripted tears To wash your feet You welcome my silence And ask for me to come So turn this muted life Into a living song …You know what is unheard …You hear my unsung words
