When I let my voice come out
Please understand
That it's a person surrendering
Word by word
With my heart in my mouth and open-hearted
I'll bleed
It's about the struggles of this life we live
That I sing
When I open my throat1
With so much strength
Be sure that I'll be living
Everything that you hear
See the shine in your eyes
And the tremor of my hands
And my body, so sweaty
Expressing all the race and emotion
And if I cry and the salt waters my smile
Don't get scared and sing
Because your singing is what gives me strength to sing
When I let my voice come out
Please understand
That it's only my way of living
What it is to love
And if I cry and the salt waters my smile
Don't get scared and sing
Because your singing is what gives me strength to sing
When I let my voice come out
Please understand
That it's only my way of living
What it is to love
And if I cry and the salt waters my smile
Don't get scared and sing
Because your singing is what gives me strength to sing
When I let my voice come out
Please understand
It's only my way of living
What it is to love
