Voices Carry

For so many years I have been told to keep quiet.  Almost convinced that I did not have a voice.  I know I do have a voice and a lot of people don't want to hear what I have to say because it makes them uncomfortable, they don't want to hear about the ugly side of adoption.  Well, I have a voice and one day, my voice will be loud enough to hear and my voice will carry...

but I'm frightened of the things I might find

hush hush
keep it down now
voices carry

hush hush
keep it down now
voices carry

I try so hard not to get upset

because I know all the trouble I'll get

oh, he tells me tears are something to hide
and something to fear

and I try so hard to keep it inside
so no one can hear

hush hush
keep it down now
voices carry

hush hush
keep it down now
voices carry

hush hush
keep it down now
voices carry

He wants me
but only part of the time
He wants me
if he can keep me in line

hush hush
keep it down now
voices carry

hush hush
keep it down now
voices carry

hush hush
keep it down now
voices carry

hush hush, darling, she might overhear

oh, no-voices carry

he said shut up he said shut up
oh God can't you keep it down

voices carry
I wish he would let me talk.
