The Voice Within Lyrics

While talking to myself one day
I heard a voice within me say
Why don't you wake up?
Don’t you know the one you love is not for you, is not for you
For you belong to a different kind of girl
And in a different kind of world

And so I said to me within
What can I do, how can I win?
The voice that he said easy
Turn your face towards the sky and don't cry
For you'll meet your love, by and by

And so I said to me within
What can I do, how can I win?
The voice that he said easy
Turn your face towards the sky and don’t cry
For you'll meet your love, by and by

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
