Try to keep it flowing with the song so we can follow your lyrics along, and please do post a link and make sure to mention the name and artist (as we always should). Please tag me and have fun!!!!

I Will Be by Florence + The Machine

This song has a long whispering part that Florence made sure no one can understand. But it has such a feeling that I had to try and write what I felt could be the whispered part, so here goes:

In every drop of water,

Moving down the stream.

Shaping the the world around it

with its gentle caress.

In every stepping stone,

relentless, smoothed over,

but never falling apart.

In the glint of sunlight

and the soft treading of stags

in the glitter of hidden gems

you can hear my voice

you can see my face

in the soft turning of nature

And the patience of earth

And every sound of laughter

Marrying the joyful wild

And the stones you step on

Never knowing the magick they hide.

And in the darkest part of the forest

And in the deepest faith in the break of dawn

Hear my voice, there I chant

I will be, I will be

Silence will not cover me.
