The Voice Within

Young girl, don't cry

I'll be right here when your world starts to fall, ooh

Young girl, it's alright

Your tears will dry, you'll soon be free to fly, ooh

When you're safe inside your room, you tend to dream

Of a place where nothing's harder than it seems

No one ever wants or bothers to explain

Of the heartache, life can bring and what it means

When there's no one else, look inside yourself

Like your oldest friend, just trust the voice within

Then you'll find the strength that will guide your way

You'll learn to begin to trust the voice within, oh

Young girl, don't hide

You'll never change if you just run away, ooh-whoa, yeah

Young girl, just hold tight

Soon you're gonna see your brighter day, oh

Now in a world where innocence is quickly claimed

It's so hard to stand your ground when you're so afraid

No one reaches out a hand for you to hold

When you look outside, look inside to your soul

When there's no one else, look inside yourself

Like your oldest friend, just trust the voice within

Then you'll find the strength that will guide your way

If you will learn to begin to trust the voice within

Oh-oh, yeah-hey, ooh-oh, yeah, oh

Life is a journey, it can take you anywhere you choose to go

As long as you're learning

You'll find all you'll ever need to know (be strong)

Break it (hold on), you'll make it (be strong)

Just don't forsake it because (hold on)

(No one can tell you what you can't do)

No one can stop you, you know that I'm talking to you

When there's no one else, look inside yourself

Like your oldest friend, just trust the voice within

Then you'll find the strength that will guide your way

You'll learn to begin to trust the voice within, ooh

Ooh, yeah, young girl, don't cry

I'll be right here when your world starts to fall

Yeah-aah, yeah (listen)

Oh yeah (listen)

Na, na, na, na, na, na, mmm (listen, listen)

Oh yeah (listen)

Mmm, yeah (listen)
